When deleting apps / resources in DB we actually do a hard delete but what if we did soft delete? It is easier to trace things through time

This can be used instead to keep audit log without having any resource around https://github.com/jjkester/django-auditlog (https://github.com/shtalinberg/django-actions-logger is a fork of that) or https://github.com/kajic/django-model-changes, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-reversion/2.0.6
Audit log is only useful up to a point if there is no data around to introspect
