Hi, See SLING-3203, I'm suggesting a patch that does this to avoid deleting the parent node of non-existent nodes in some cases.
This causes the :delete post servlet operation to work slightly differently than before. Assuming we want to implement this, do we need to make it switchable for backwards compatibility? Such requests make no sense in general, so I'd at least enable it by default, but there might be edge cases. -Bertrand
