I have personally witnessed someone (honestly, not me) select "Terminate Instance" when they meant "Reboot Instance" and that mistake is way too easy. I'm not sure if it was a brain mistake or mere slip of the mouse, but it's enough to make people really nervous in a production environment. If there's one thing you can count on about human beings, it's that they'll make mistakes sooner or later. Any system that assumes infallible human beings as a design criteria is making an invalid assumption.

The image guys have a good structure where images become unavailable and are recoverable for a certain period of time. A regular periodic task cleans up deleted items after a configurable number of seconds to avoid constant database growth. My preference would be to follow this model universally (an archive table is a nice way to do it without disturbing production).
