All Entities - for *all* apps, are actully stored in one bigtable "table".

http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/storage_breakdown.html

... so to delete a Kinds, really means there is nothing for it but to
delete then one by one. An index, maintains a list of entities, of a
given Kind. So that index must be traversed to find all the right
entities to delete.

So even if Google did provide a delete Kind command, it would still
use same batch process, and cost the same (or nearly the same) in
actual CPU time.
