What I find interesting in all of this exchange -- however -- is
that everyone agree's renumbering the "id" of a dB is something you

It's simply -- concretely -- inefficient & inelegant to modify on
average half the records in a database simply in order to delete one
record, when queries give us fast, simple, READ-ONLY methods for
enumerating existing data.
