 > I think the Admins given their 'power' should do whatever they like.

 Right, but that doesn't mean to give them the tools so they prevent proper
 "bookkeeping" :)

 > We already are underway going extra chats of keeping proper logs in a
 different screen so they might take of these logs on v2.

 Hmm, not sure what a "proper log" is and why would the list-tables be
 "improper logs", but thinking duplicate logs don't belong in core. Plugins
 can implement as many logs as they want, and I'm sure some people will
 like having many of them :)

 > For example I might send a wrong e-mail as an Admin for a request that
 has no place in my table at the moment. I should be able to just remove it
 since there are no notes etc to keep me from remembering.

 Yeah, failed confirmation requests can be "garbage collected" after few
 days/weeks.

 Still think that log entries should not be deletable by default.

 > Also ticket #43890 after recent discussions adds the ability to just add
 requests avoiding confirmation. This can be used for a full manual export

 Yeah, that is a possible enhancement, however I don't see why a request
 should be added at all. Admins can export any data at any time and as many
 times as they want. It's up to them :)
