The purpose of cn=config is to support configuration changes on a server without causing any service outage. Supporting Deletes in cn=config is fundamentally opposed to this goal. E.g., deleting an olcDatabase entry cannot be seen as anything other than a service outage - you were serving a database a second ago, now it's gone.
On a server serving multiple databases, removing one of the databases is not necessarily a service outage. I would prefer (when I can clean up a legacy database, once the last of the legacy software that uses it is migrated) not to have outages on the other 3 databases in use.
