It seems potentially the only time to use it would be an accidental leak of sensitive info in a changeset, and you would still want to change the leaked value. More than once I have discovered an abandoned change from someone and learned a lesson so that seems like the superior everyday mechanism for "not useful" anymore :)

I just been told there is now a delete button, DON'T USE IT- I just pressed it by mistake after entering in edit mode thinking it was a "discard patch started on web interface" (but it is very easy to pres it by mistake), and apparently it removes the entire CR. I was told by Paladox this is a new feature on gerrit, and I do not like it already. I managed to delete the work of a workmate. :-(
I could restore everthing from the database backups, but as it also deletes the git files content, it doesn't work without it -it cannot be reverted- only text can be recover from the database in not the nicest formatting.
Apologies for the damages caused. Should I file a ticket to propose to disable such a button from the UI?
