Archived projects
Why do the resources/streams/components of archived projects visible to active projects? If you archive a project it shouldn't show up at all. The reason I ask this is because in my learning how to use RTC and import code from svn I had mutiple components and projects which are useless. This could cause some confusion to developers as we roll RTC out. It seems to me if you archive a project you should no longer see the components or streams from that project. At least until RTC can finally purge projects from the db.
Thanks!

I'm not an SCM expert, but I think the reason is that those SCM artifacts technically exist outside the scope of any one project area. Multiple project areas can make use of the same components and streams.

A component exists out of the scope of a project, so it wouldn't make
sense to archive it when a project area is archived. But a stream can
"belong" to a project, so you could argue that it would make sense to
archive it with the project area. But a stream is actually one of the
RTC objects that you can really delete, so if you want to get rid of a
stream, you can delete it for real.
