Paul Joseph Davis commented on COUCHDB-576:
-------------------------------------------
Using the update_seq or a UUID is probably the best way forward. We've already
talked about adding a UUID to each database anyway so that seems probably the
best route.
The ?type approach just seems awkward and really not much of a help if you can
still accidentally delete things when you're in a hurry and don't bother
specifying a ?type value.
> Require current update_seq when deleting a database for extra safety.
