(Radim: I'm assuming you mean "do not delete already deleted columns" as Ross doesn't delete his rows.)
Just to be clear about Ross' situation: he continually inserts columns and later deletes columns from the same set of rows. As long as he *doesn't* *keep deleting already-deleted columns* (which refreshes the tombstone on them), the deleted columns *should* get cleaned up, right? (Even though the row itself continually gets new columns inserted and other columns deleted?)
