<shrug> Don't care much about either of those; the current state of
affairs is fine with me.

That would be a bug without regard for any of this discussion, because
both RemoveDomain and RemoveType are simply user interface routines;
they do no actual work.  If someone put actual work into either, it'd
be wrong because it would not get done during a cascaded drop.
