Implicit save make sense when you do 'in view edits' As oppose to a more
formal 'save/publish' when you're in Edit mode, where 'all changes' are
submitted as one update.

Yes, technically there are no 'Delete/Change'. We don't Undo, but we can
undo in the sense of applying a compensating change that reverts the
original change. But both actions are in the history; Change, Revert
Change..

Technically speaking we don't Delete on this level.It's only a soft Delete
in the backend. E.g. a delete won't show up in Lists/Sprints unless you
'view the data in a historical view'.

But maybe you're asking if we should hvae a 'DELETE' button vs a 'Archive'
button?

I'm not really seeing 'Archive' as so relevant in almighty as it is in
Trello. We have the concept of a Sprint, Trello doesn't. Meaning the view
will be fairly restricted already. A large Sprint could suffer the same,
but the Sprint view could 'fade out' Cards in Done that are older then e.g.
n days or something? (of course withthe option to see all.)
