nil gets converted to zero. removing node zero will definitely cause
the server to crash.
But the server does not check for it. there are a lot of ways you could
cause the server to crash that cannot be cheaply checked (i.e. doing a
graph analysis at each operation), so none are checked for. Perhaps
this is reckless but that is the way it is.
