I think we can give this a shot, although it may be the cause for
confusion. Given that we don't have recoverability, we might as well
have multi-versioning :)
In the meantime, maybe we can log some bugs/feature requests against
JIRA? (a) ability to grant delete of elements of an issue without being
able to delete the issue and (b) delete merely marks its status as
deleted, it does not permanently delete and (c) because of -b-, add
support for a purge operation.

Have I missed why we are not allowed to delete stuff from Jira anymore?
I saw Kathey was unable to delete a comment, and I am not able to delete
an attachment I would like to replace.
I tried deleting from a issue I both reported and was assigned to (I was
even logged in!), but the delete controls are not there anymore.
Is this a change of policy, or just a issue that will go away in a
little while?
I was concerned last week when an entire issue was deleted, and I
double-checked the permissions and some permissions (like delete) were
granted too widely, in my opinion, allowing any jira user to perform
them. Deleting an issue (which is then not recoverable), I restricted
to the derby-administrators group, although I had not realized at the
time that the delete privilege covers the ability to delete comments
and attachments as well, a bit of poor granularity on the part of
JIRA's permissions schemes.
Others on the list have requested that patches and comments not be
deleted from JIRA so that there is a record of how patches progress,
along with all relevant comments, so I'm tempted to leave it as-is.
Anyone else feel differently? The permanent deletion of issues is a
bad thing, I sort of hoped that JIRA would actually keep the records,
but it appears not. But if people really want to be able to delete
comments, I can give the derby-developers group the delete permission
back.
