Why isn't there an option to edit account details or delete your account entirely?

Currently these requests are handled manually by sending email to [email protected]

We plan to build out self-service in the future as this won't scale indefinitely

Account deletion is now enabled. Changing email may be added later

This might be complicated by the fact that we would also need to update subscription emails as that's how we match them up

Do we have to guarantee atomicity when changing the email address in two different places and roll everything back if one change fails or can we just rely on manually fixing it if something goes wrong?

Or we can just put the task in a persistent queue and just keep retrying until both changes are successful?

I think it's fine if we become eventually consistent
