I think you're missing the point.

let's say there is a club with 5 members, called #1, #2, #3, #4, #5

let's say #3 and #4 have not logged in in 20 years - safe to assume they 
have lost interest in their memberships.

if you delete #3 and #4 from the membership database, what is the next 
new member numbered? there would be controversy if the new member was 
numbered #3, so the new member is numbered #6 instead (for more reasons 
than just controversy). This means that there are only 4 members, but 
one of them is numbered #6

makes sense?
