I understand that argument about historical executions that really has been executed. But in case I by mistake klick on "New execution" and don't have the intention to run it, e.g. by the "play triangle" in a Jira User Story - traceability link. Then a brand new execution is created and my actual execution is hidden from being the latest in the Test Cycle.
That is not a problem if it is a short test case with very few steps just clicking Pass/Fail. But if having a long test case with a lot of evidence (screenshots etc) in every step. Then it would be appropriate to be able to remove the test execution in status Not executed so that one doesn't hide the actual result.
