I'm thinking more in terms of why should we delete it rather than why should we keep it. For reporting purposes it could be very useful to know what categories a product was attached to at a given point in time. Perhaps sales dropped after the product was removed from the category but since we deleted the record we have no way of discovering that.

Actually I did not write this stuff an I have no idea why this choice has been made. But I came to this conclusion since it sounded logical, do we really need to track such changes ? Maybe in case of error though (but tracking errors like that is a bit Stalinian isn'it ? Errare human est...)

Personally I don't think it should be allowed to delete a product from a category, why not just expire it and maintain the history?

Please use rather user ML for such questions, see why here :

Also consider some associations, say a product with a category : no needs to track for an audit on such things. Hence removing a product from a category is possible...

Thanks

Hmmm....this is a bit confusing. There are mentions of a need for a trail for auditing purposes. Yet there are several places in ofbiz that permit a user to actually remove items. Was the deletion added in for some specific
purpose of is the auditing related focus been relaxed?  Or have the
community decided to let the user decide whether or not to delete certain
items.
