Yeah, that's my aim here. ;-)

As a start, I'd be happy if we just made it harder to delete some patrons. We
are seeing some cases where users related to things like SIP2 and SCO get
deleted, and it would be a big gain if we could just make that happen less
often. So maybe we could start there and do the other protections later? 

But even "make it hard to delete" could mean different things: 
- Just a popup saying "are you really sure you want to delete this patron"
- Make it impossible to delete protected patrons, but make it easy to remove
the "protected" flag (so an extra step to delete)
- Make it really hard to remove the "protected" flag and delete the patron

And we need to think about what happens when someone tries to delete a
protected patron. A "direct" delete on one patron is probably not too hard, but
what should happen when a protected patron is included in a batch delete?
Should the batch delete stop, or should we just report in some way that the
protected patron was not deleted? Or should we just ignore it?
