There is no connection between the new orphan and the old recurring
series, so if you reject the pending deletion on the orphan, you, and
everyone you're sharing with, will see it as just a single,
non-recurring item.

This is less than ideal, but it doesn't seem especially common and it
was the best we could do at this stage of the game.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
