I archive once a month in 'bunches' so I find a subtree to archive, then do C-x ( C-c C-x C-e (once) then C-x e e e e ... to do my archiving for a sequential set of subtrees. I can see hitting 'a' by accident would archive stuff when I don't intend to. Maybe if there was a configurable question to verify you want to archive then that would mitigate this potential problem. We would need the ability to toggle this safety question on and off. -Bernt
