a) Very useful initiative; real-world data is always the
   best for tests; thanks!

b) Having a script that deletes data sounds scary because
   Murphy will run it on the wrong database :-).  Also, to
   maintain privacy it's much easier to white-list data that
   is known to be suitable for publication than to delete
   everything else.  I would (try to) rewrite that script to
   create a new database that replicates the schema and then
   copy selected tables and columns, applying filters where
   necessary.
