Should channels be deletable?

[dodo920306]

Currently one can't delete channels directly with UI, but they can delete them from the dashboard via deleting the networks. However, such deleted channels still exist for the Fabric Nodes. Thus, should networks be unremovable once they have channels?

No. Network should not be deleted as long as it contains any orderer node.

No. Network should not be deleted as long as it contains any channel or node.

However, currently nodes can't be deleted if it's the only orederer in a network.

In order to fix this issue, I made networks deletable even when there are nodes. Such tolerance conflict with your point.

Network is not used now (if not using the sys chan). Will delete this type of resource.

Totally agree. I will try to remove networks from the DB schemas in the future.
