I don't see the value in this modification.

The wording is ambiguous: is the value zero only for nodes which were
deleted due to recursion, or do you mean deletes are recursive?

Per docs/misc/xenstore.txt all deletes are recursive, so there is no
need to repeat that here. And a zero value only for the recursions makes
no sense at all.

So I'd nack this patch.
