vDisk Protection in a DTA Snapshot environment

With vdisk_protection_time and vdisk_protection_enabled, two parameters are provided in SVC and Storwize to prevent accidental deletion of a disc. Unfortunately, this function is unusable if additional products dynamically create and delete vDisk. It should be possible to delay a deletion request via the API, so that the application is reported a success but the deletion is not done but placed in a queue which must either be manually confirmed or via a garbage collection after a certain Time without IO takes place automatically.
