Endpoint Group deletion

Why when deleting an endpoint group in the portal instead of deleting it in the database it just makes it invisible to portal, changing the value to 0 in "visible" field?

While I have not deeply looked into this logic from the original author, my assumption is this was done as then endpoints wouldn't be orphaned if the assigned group was deleted from the db. This would probably cause a foreign key issue within the db tables.

I understand, and that makes sense. Therefore, in this case, I think it would make more sense if in the moment of the deletion, the script checks if there's any endpoint with the referred endpoint group ID, or any other association, and in case it's true, it doesn't allow the deletion informing, at least a generic reason. If it's false, remove the endpoint group from database.
