Wouldn't it make more sense to introduce a new signal "row-delete" and
use that instead of changing the semantics of "row-deleted"? If that
would have been done in the first place, then you wouldn't have said
inconsistency now.

But then I have to admit that I probably just don't know enough about
the internals.
