Rails core - Jun 2007 - has_many with :dependent => :nullify

Hi all,

There is something confusing with has_many in the current API :
When deleting a record with association.delete, the corresponding
association''s foreign key is nullified. However, if has_many has
the :dependent option set (to any value), the association''s destroy
method is called instead.
This is awfully inconsistent with the behavior expected when
setting :dependent to :nullify.

While browsing the Trac database, I found several patches submitted to
address this issue :
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5209 (1 year old !)
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7309
These patches look good to me, but still haven''t been applied. Is
there any good reason for this ?
If not, it would be nice if someone could take care of this ;)

I closed the old patch and added myself to 7309,  the patch needs some
reviews and could do with some &:id love instead of the more verbose
{|r| r.id}.
