Comment 3 for bug 1455221

Master still looks like it'd handle this the same:

https://github.com/openstack/swift/blob/097a9083eced36b69d4edbf1fc6130ca8b04bca3/swift/obj/expirer.py#L265

but I think once the tombstone makes it's way to disk one way or another the object is deleted. I'm not sure we need to keep retrying ... when is the status ever going to stop being 404?
