Comment:
While I can understand how from a usability perspective this could be
confusing, the ability to delete can also be a useful way to discard a new
form entry rather than having to clear each populated field for the given
form(s).
As a result, I propose adding a `can_delete_extra` option to formsets,
which allow developers to decide whether they wish to omit deletion fields
from their formsets without having to write any any additional logic in to
their templates/views.
I'm about to attach the relevant patches. If accepted, I'm happy to
provide a patch to public documentation for reference also.
