That's all the request asks for, to depricate "destroyStack" in favor of
a more accurately descriptive term:

I think we all enjoy having control over whether a stack remains in
memory or not. Unfortunately "delete stack" doesn't do that
consistently, and in some cases can actually delete a stack.
That's a separate issue, addressed here:
