Oh and by the way, in a use case where there is only one database and you don't use compaction because you want to keep everything, well _rev is a revision that can be used to see the history of the document. I really don't see the point of renaming an attribute to make it harder to understand it's role. It's like all politically correct terminology where you use a stupid expression in order to be as neutral as possible. IMO if you change this attribute name it's even better to remove all possibilities to a access a previous rev if still there, and change it's value by a timestamp
