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...
