--- Comment #28 from Ferdinand <libreoffice at chricar.at> ---
Hi, i just checked 6.4 

suggested solution:
Before deleting a column, row or sheet all cells to be deleted must be checked
with

"Detective/Trace dependents" 

and raise an error "Cell x:y on sheet z" depends on "Cell a:b on sheet c"  for
the first positive.

This would create a very unique selling point - at least for a while 
and save a lot of time and tears.

And from an usability point of view, I think it's a trade off between
performance and time spent for restoring broken sheets.

IMO a very clear decision. 
and if someone really prefers or needs ref errors due to performance issues,
this can be made configurable like "iterative references". 

sorry to be irksome.
