As I was chasing down an already-reported bug concerning parent categories not restricting access, I noticed that entries in node_access remain present even after I have deleted the associated post. This doesn't seem to hurt anything, but seems sloppy.

Sounds like a bug, but I wonder if its a bug in drupal core. There were changes going into 5.x that make it so access control modules like this one don't actually touch the node_access table directly, even in the case of nodes being deleted.

That said, I can't look into it further right now, as I'm travelling in India, having trouble booting my laptop and rarely have internet access! Will look into this further at some far-off time in the future...
