Comment(by nacin):

 Here's my take on this. Your plugin is a perfectly reasonable example of
 how plugins can extend the trash feature.

 I'm all for wp_delete_post, wp_delete_attachment, and wp_delete_comment
 relying on a $force_delete parameter to skip trash (if trash is enabled
 for that component).

 That said, action=delete links should be processed always as a force
 delete, not as a conditional for whether trash is enabled (note how $force
 = !EMPTY_TRASH_DAYS). There's a reason we have action=trash as well.

 Regardless, as you can see in that other ticke,t this is a much larger
 issue that will require some major decisions from the core devs on the
 directions of the trash-related API.
