Description
In the documentation we mention that when deleting a user
The server will still keep the cloud id in order to properly propagate this. But all other personal data will be removed.
In my opinion, this sentence could be clarified: propagate to what? Does it still make sense in a Global Scale deployment?

Research direction
Start with the “delete user” section in doc/architecture.md and read the surrounding explanation of retaining the cloud ID. Check how the text relates to propagation and Global Scale deployments. Done means the sentence clearly explains what is propagated and whether the behavior still applies in a Global Scale deployment.
