Naturally. But that isn't an answer to the point I was making. If
someone wants to say that "PWD is terrible because there would be edit
wars" they have to explain why deletion edit wars would be any more
horrible than content or vandalism edit wars. We can handle the last
two well enough; what's wrong with the first? It just doesn't explain
the basis for the judgment that deletion ought to be treated
differently from other edits.
