No. Core doesn't deletes parameters or attachments.
There are few reasons why core doesn't (and really shouldn't) delete
dependents:
* Parameters are also standalone objects
* You might want to move parameter to other object or make it
"orphaned" by purpose
* You might want to move attachment to other object
* Attachment doesn't have to handle blob file, it may be shared one
Vinland checks if object has dependents. We decided not to port it to
Ragnaroek.
Basically, MGD_ERR_HAS_DEPENDENTS error code is thrown, and application
itself is responsible for the way how dependents are moved/deleted/purged.
