Does it even make sense to add a _retain key to prevent compaction? Or is the fact that CouchDB keeps previous revisions of documents just an implementation detail to deal with conflicts / concurrency, and so I shouldn't be tempted to use it for other purposes? Sorry if I missed any earlier discussions about this topic, Jim
