Todos without projects

When a project is deleted using an action such as UsersController::destroy, the user instance gets destroyed and propagates deletion to related projects. However, the todos of this project do not get deleted as there is a :delete_all dependency between users and projects.

Is it still present in 2.2?

Looks like it. Users -> :delete_all Projects, and Projects -> :delete_all Todos, but when a User is destroyed :delete_all does not propagate further than the deleted user's projects. The dependency between Users and Projects would have to be :destroy_all, but I'm not suggesting that as a fix as that may break other things (possibly deleting too eagerly)

true. Need to investigate why we reverted to delete_all from destroy_all. Perhaps performance was an issue, but deleting a user is not really done often IMHO.
