No. Look, I have already spent a LOT of time providing a mechanism for
people who leave the network to have the addresses changed. Now what
you're asking for is a mechanism to allow people who leave the network
and haven't got an ounce of organization to cover up their mistake after
the fact. Why should I spend my time in that fashion? If you're so
disorganized that you can't even announce your new node 2 weeks in
advance, you deserve the troubles you get. And, by the way, what NAD? If
the node is gone, it hasn't got a NAD any longer.

What's wrong with doing ADD after you find out the DEL removed the wrong
address?
