That flag is put there to prohibit deletion of tables used as logs. If I 
add a new flag, I will have to make extensive modifications to the csv 
storage engine. I do not feel that it violates the semantics of the 
flag. What I have done is added a very simple exception rule to allow 
the restriction to be turned off by the logging code -- specifically, 
the backup logging code. All other logs will perform the same way they 
always have. I do not see the need to make extensive changes to the CSV 
storage engine to satisfy this request when the existing solution is 
much less invasive.
