Most of the lower level services named with "delete" do actually
remove records. Usually the thruDate is set through the "update"
service.
What is shown in the UI is a totally different story... and there
sometimes "Delete" buttons actually call an update service and just
set a thruDate.
The old ContactMech services are a bit of an exception to this, but
the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Hi,
deletePartyRelationship service defined in PartyServices.xml file
between line 806 and 812 removes record from database.
PartyRelationship entity has thruDate. When entity has such field I
expect to expire record instead of removing it.
Like in case of SFA, We create a Lead and then later a Lead is
converted to Account. In lead conversion process I'll like to expire
old PartyRelationship (of type LEAD_OWNER) and create new
relationship of type ACCOUNT. This will preserve history.
I am wondering if its ok to change implementation of
deletePartyRelationship method. If no body has any objections I'll
modify it to set thruDate instead of removing record.
