If there was a > layer-removal plugin, the removal of a layer could be previewed. plug-ins usually only work on a single drawable. Creating a copy of the whole image would be overkill in almost all cases. Since we want a zoomable preview, we'd even have to redo the image copy every time the zoom changes. Doing a real drawable copy would probably be a reasonable approach since the gimp core could do the scaling for us.
