Github user eribeiro commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/252 As Ben pointed out, the docs at http://zookeeper.apache.org/doc/r3.5.3-beta/zookeeperProgrammers.html#sc_ACLPermissions. state clearly that "DELETE prevents deletion of children "(like CREATE prevents the creation of children). it does not prevent the deletion of the znode itself." So, closing this PR.
