[TYPO3-dev] mm relations remain on delete of records

[Peter Kuehn [wmdb]]

Hi folks,

I searched the bugtracker but couldnt find this (ok - "mm" is a real 
useless keyword for searching ;) ):

In t3lib_TCEmain->deleteRecord_procBasedOnFieldType() (line 4252 ff.) 
mm-relations of the record to be deleted are recognized but obviously 
not deleted - just the RefIndex is updated after deleting the record.

According to a comment on line 4274 it seems, that this was somehow 
intended.

Do (useless) records remain in mm-tables or are they deleted somewhere 
else in the core?
is this already known? bug or feature?
