Because the logic to ensure that an invoice or bill can be safely removed
is extremely complex. So complex that it was much easier to just prevent
deletion. If you don't like it, patches are always welcome.

This is how you correct bad data -- by re-using the underlying data

re-using vs creating is not an extreme burden.
Again, if you don't like this, patches are always welcome.
