Sounds good. Who's getting the 'bigdelete' permission, stewards?
People have suggested bureaucrats - a poor idea, that.
Don't give the permission to anybody. A better idea is to fix big deletions so that they don't bork the server when invoked, and then remove the 'bigdelete' permission entirely. Flag a page as being "in dispose" while a background process slowly grinds through the deletions. Ideally, this situation won't come up too frequently.
