soft-delete-prevents-distributed-resurrection

Status: IN

In distributed or versioned storage, physical deletion causes data resurrection from replicas or versions that haven't seen the delete; both KV (tombstones) and S3 (delete markers) solve this by writing a deletion marker instead of removing data.

Justifications

Both systems independently arrived at write-over-delete to prevent resurrection from unsynchronized replicas
