This has always been possible.

Several equally good defaults exist. You could refuse to delete an
article when it has reply articles unless forced by a similar flag.
In either case you could choose to either move the reply articles up
or indeed issue a recursive delete.
The same discussion goes for any container/containee[0] relationship.
Article/reply article, topic/article, page/subpage, style/element,
page/page element, article/attachment, and I'm probably missing a few.
I wouldn't want a delete to be synonimous to rm -rf, personally.
