--- Comment #17 from Robert Morley <[email protected]> --- I hadn't looked closely at the patch and thought he'd added both the automatic deletion functionality and the maintenance script. I see now that that was incorrect. For your first solution, I think your point about *NSYNC means that a default of acmin=1 would be an easy-to-write interim solution. I really feel that the second solution is the way to go in the long run, though. The category table never getting cleaned up is basically a resource leak, which is bad in its own right, but could also conceivably be used to expose unwanted profanity or sensitive data with no easy way to get rid of it. I was thinking about sometimes-empty categories, but even if a category is empty, it'll almost always have a category page associated with it (in which case it should be kept, as you mentioned). Even if it doesn't, I don't think deleting it will really matter. I suppose you might want it left as a category suggestion or what have you, but really, if that's what you want, you should be creating a page for the thing anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
