# Description
- replaces status deletion in most cases with "stubbing" (similar to our account deletion)
- deleted status stubs are now cleaned up by a background cleanup routine (in the future this will be configurable and accessible via CLI and web)
- also adds a TODO.md to the repository root to track maintainer todos and the like!
- in a later PR i'll optimize both this and the last database migration to not drop + recreate so many indices for release users. (it's only useful having them separate like this for snapshot users)
