This would also not have the security issues raised earlier in this thread. Maybe this could be implemented as an "Migrate on delete" sort of function (with some tricky renaming so that the dataset it is both deleted from the catalog and recoverable) so that it could be a HRECOVERed. That would have additional pain that the delete would happen right away but the recover would have to wait for normal migration and recovery processing to complete. Unintended deletion would still be painful, but not terminal.
