Comment:
Yes, this is an edge case that would need more consideration: what happens
in cases where "new" data is added after an "erasure request" has been
fulfilled.
For the technical part of it thinking that requests should not be
removable, just like post revisions are not removable. They provide an
important "audit trail" that is needed on all websites and can be used as
information for privacy audits.
We are talking about implementing persistent logging for user privacy
actions, but at the same time let admins delete the main part of them...
