    Description

      If someone wishes to delete an alias, it would be nice to have an option to delete the collections it points to as well. This would make deleting a Time Routed Alias much more user friendly. Given that in general, more than one alias might point to a target collection, it should only delete the collections that have only this alias pointing at them – no others. This way, the other aliases remain valid. Also, aliases can point to other aliases; I don't think this proposal here should apply recursively; it should only apply to the direct children that are collections.

      Perhaps the option ought to be deleteCollections=true/false
