MySQL id reuse???

I am not so sure that this is the case but a colleague is assuring me that MySQL ids (auto-incremented) can be re-issued if a course/activity/resource is deleted.  Can anyone confirm this?

No. If autoincrement IDs were reused it would cause all sorts of subtle bugs all over the place.
