The other good thing about storing historical

Currently we

preventing them from being compacted as you say.
However, we do replicate old MVCC versions if they are conflicting,
and we
do keep them through compaction.
Perhaps "conflicting" and "historical" could be treated in roughly
the same
way?
You resolve conflicts by deleting the conflicting rev(s). This could
be done
for deleting historical versions too.
This is the approach I'm taking in my experimental branch. I will let
you know how I get on!
