Changes to Delete?

I am using Dgraph version v20.07.0. In previous versions when I wanted to delete a node, I had to set the edges to null then delete the node, like this:

{
  "delete" : [
    {
      "uid":"0x18",
      "networks":null,
      "policies":null,
      "reaches":null,
      "runs":null,
      "sources":null,
      "tags":null
    },
    {
      "uid":"0x18"
    }
  ]
}

It appears now, that I only have to delete the node and I do not have to set each of the edges to null.

{
  "delete":[
    {
      "uid":"0x18"
    }
  ]
}

Has something changed or did I misunderstand how to delete nodes?

Nope, nothing has changed. I was always like this. The null is used to delete a specific edge/predicate as the pattern S P *. And the uid one is a S * * pattern.
