That’s exactly why I asked “In that case, should we prevent virtual
buffers from being listed in ‘ido-kill-buffer’ in the first place?”
before.

To me, both _not offering virtual buffers to be killed at all_ and
_offering them but treating killing as removing from ‘recentf-list’_
make sense.  The latter I prefer simply for consistency with
‘ido-kill-buffer-at-head’ (i.e., function that is called when you press
‘C-k’ on a buffer during ‘C-x b’).

Best regards,
Dario
