Are you allowed to delete tombstone events from mt_events?

[jclijmans]

Due to a sub-optimal application, we had lots of concurrency errors resulting in lots of tombstone events in the mt_events table.

Can we delete those tombstone events without causing issues in our application?
I could not find any guidance regarding this in the documentation.

I think you had asked the same question in Discord.

Adding an answer for anyone who is searching here. Tombstone events are a record of what has happened so deleting them shouldn't cause issues. In production scenario, always double check with a test and then attempt to delete the tombstone events.

It is a good idea to add some documentation on this, will look into it.

If the high water mark in mt_event_progression, it does no harm to delete tombstone events
