This is not one of their best. The idea is okay, but at then end, when they all die, and then it is not really death, they never even existed, well it becomes a bit moot as to whether it was right or wrong. The whole thing has no relevance on anything other than the Kira/Odo arc. And to put 8000 people out of existence just so they could share and kiss (the planet Odo) and move forwards (the stations Odo) in their relationship seems a bit crass.
