Undeleting things is an important use case in my opinion. We do this in our environment on a regular basis. In that light I'm not sure that it would be appropriate just to log the deletion and git rid of the row. I would like to see it go to an archival table where it is easily restored. -Mike

The restore use case is for sure inconsistently implemented and used. I think I agree with Boris that we treat it as separate and just move on with cleaning up soft delete. I imagine most deployments don't like having most of the rows in their table be useless and make db access slow? That being
