Another option that we should at least consider is "do nothing". In a
case like the one Shlok describes, how are we supposed to know what
the right thing to do is? Is it unreasonable to say that if the user
doesn't want those publications or subscriptions to exist, the user
should drop them?
Maybe it is unreasonable to say that, but it seems to me we should at
least talk about that.
