That something has been written to disk does not make destryoing data safe. It is not unsual, for instance, to expect that data can be saved more than once, and invalidating such expectations can lead to catas- trophic data loss. I think "release-after-first-save-action" is not a pattern to be encouraged, at least not without secondary safeguards. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
