The development canvas should allow developers to temporarily "comment out" an
actor or connection.  As it has been explained to me, the alternatives are
either deleting the actor (making it cumbersome to restore it if there's no
copy of the actor handy), or to delete the connection to the actor and hoping
that the director running the workflow doesn't get too confused.  Deleting
connections also requires the developer to remember what the connections were
like which may be burdensome if multiple items are being removed.
