I was actually discussing that as the 'next step' after this development. We
could easily add a 'read-only' flag to a given account and move the
AnonymousPatron logic into a a new Patron method like is_deletable. This would
be especially useful for accounts used for SIP, APIs, and so forth. I would
consider this to be a building block for bug 26170.
