With the edit form wide open on the promise page (which is fine, maybe even preferable based on the frequency I need to edit things currently) I fear the Delete link is too scary to just have sitting there. And now that we have proper voiding, maybe it's not necessary. When we have proper user auth (#21) maybe the logged in user should have the choice to totally delete something, but not in the meantime.

While we have only a handful of active users I propose the Delete link be like "What happened that you want to delete this? Tell us about the use case and we’ll manually take care of it."

Labeling this MENdoza since we can't accept more beta users till it's addressed in some way.

Current downpopping makes this at least feel much less urgent. Closing.

(Longer term I really like the idea of a write-only changelog, where any permanent change including deletion is like rewriting history and should require human admin intervention.)
