RFC: Reverting MARC batches with deleted records
The batch record tool can A) overlay/replace existing records B) revert batches, including modifications due to overlays The situation becomes messy when we begin dealing with batches having overlaid records that are now deleted. If one of these batches is reverted, the record is un-deleted and the old pre-overlay record is reinstated ( unless you have CatalogingLog on, then nothing happens do to a bug ). The question becomes, is this the correct thing to do? If a record is deleted, shouldn't it stay deleted? Please let me know what you think!

My gut reaction: it should stay deleted, as there was presumably some other intentional action taken at some point to delete it.

That is also my instinct. It's good to have some further confirmation!
