GJ presented ClientDelete as a temporary kludge, and I considered
the criticism of his proposal in that light.

I certainly agree that it is a confusing and alien function which
should never be exposed to the ordinary user. But it is not an
effective way to censor content from your store, nor does it have
much effect on my personal decision, as a Nazi node operator, to
refuse to handle certain keys.
