Comment (by DJPaul):

 I think showing a deleted users’ messages is a good behaviour; it also
 helps from a audit/moderation perspective (it looks like what we did in
 the last release might hide the content from a site admin, for example).
 I’d rather keep the message chain intact.

 How about something like, changing the user ID of messages-to-be-deleted
 to -1, and treating such in the message loop as a “deleted user”, and
 showing that appropriately in the templates?
