Well, I see a big problem with it. A big security problem!

Imagine the user has owner status in a MUC. Now that JID gets auto- delted. Someone re-registers that JID and got owner in the MUC and could hijack it. Imagine that user has been gone for years, and nobody remembers him. But know someone DOES remember him suddenly, registers the JID that user had and takes over the MUC. Same applies for PubSub etc.
