Actually, we have implemented an 'Intance Recycle Bin' in our customized
dashboard via soft-delete. All intances being deleted would be put into
the 'Recycle Bin' to give a chance that it could be restored later if
needed. Instances which stay in 'Recycle Bin' for more than 24 hours would
be safely deleted. Also, instances in 'Recycle Bin' could be force-deleted
at any time admin would like to.
One problem for this function is how to display instances in the 'Recycle
Bin'. They are instances in the 'soft-delete' status, but we cannot filter
them out by status via nova-api, as 'deleted' and 'soft-deleted' are
mapping to the same status. So it really makes sense to sperate out the two
status in nova-api level.

I have a patch up for review on this:

However, this doesn't fix the vm_states.SOFT_DELETED mapping in
nova.api.openstack.common so if you show an instance with
vm_states.SOFT_DELETED, the response status will be 'DELETED'.
I'd like to see if there are any opinions on if this should come back
as 'SOFT_DELETED' or if everyone is OK with mapping soft-delete to
'DELETED' in the v3 API?
I would like to see them merged. Having multiple kinds of deleted
records is
really confusing, and leads to bugs. The more public we make this,
the harder
it will be to fix it in the future.
The only place I can see it would be confusing is if an admin is using
deleted in the search options, in which case I think they would need some
way to distinguish between soft and hard deleted instances.
