Description

When a artifact, feature, distribution or target is deleted, associations referencing the deleted object is left orphaned within the association repository.
A strategy to handle these orphaned associations should be developed.
1:1 associations referencing only a certain artifact/feature/distribution/target which is deleted could easily be deleted. Associations containing wildcards, e.g. referencing to targets with a certain attribute value could be kept and will become automatically effective, if a new target with a corresponding attribute value is added.
