That's my initial reaction too. I archive using C-c C-x C-s but I bind
it to a macro. 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.
