That surely sounds reasonable.

Personally, I don't see much of a problem either way that I am
aware of right now. All three commercial packages that I work
with do it like that. The half dozen others I know do, too.
HOWEVER, Richard attested that it would be a bad idea. Since I
see no compelling advantage/disadvantage in either I decided
that I could side with him just as easily as the other way
round.
All truth being told I do see value in always having a patient
open (does not imply having unsaved data, though). It gives
developers a really hard-and-fast assumption to go by:
"I can assume to always be able to work with a patient object.
If that assumption fails something very fundamental is amiss
and I may safely assume cleanly aborting is the best option."

That is possible already.

upon logging off, currently
