This config disables the default carrierwave behaviour of deleting previous images on update.
The issue with removing previous images is that the documents using them may have associations that also use the images. Therefore, when the images get deleted from asset-manager, the associated published documents will 404 for the image, unless an intentional update is run to inform the association that a new image has been provided.
Such an example is Speech document and the related Person who made the speech. Speech page shows the image of the person. When Person updates the picture, Speech needs to be republished as well, otherwise it will try to show the old image (404 if deletion enabled).
