Hi,
Tracking provides historic information about the changes of a table, but should this history persist whenever this table is deleted?

I guess the history could be purged on a delete of the table. In cases where you delete a whole table to recreate it from an export file the tracked changed would probably become inconsistent anyway...

I agree with this. I saw no purging mechanism in the current GSoC code for this feature. I think it would be more prudent to offer a manual way to purge tracking info, instead of auto-purging on table deletion. Anyway, table deletion may occur outside of phpMyAdmin.
On db deletion, it might be more complex to handle, however.
