For tables/indices - no, it isn't:

1. It's not a safety measure, since these tables/indices are generated 
content, which can later be re-generated. In fact, it is _safer_ to 
delete a generated table/index than any other piece of content.

2. It's not a measure against deleting the content, it's intended to 
prevent selective alteration of it.

And I should also mention the "safety measure" claim has already been 
made and replied to on the bug page.

I'm sorry I couldn't attend, I was at work.
