The main difficulty at that time probably was the SQL to return the "latest version only" of each object. Matt won't have that problem because even if he wants to return deleted objects, he can ignore the history tables - we have the deleted objects in the current tables as well. (Plus, you didn't have people with a degree in aeronautics. And very few Germans.) Someone suggested in the run-up for the 0.6 changeover that we could drop the deleted objects from current because he didn't care whether he gets a 404 or a 410 return code. It sounded ok at the time but I guess that it this were done, returning deleted objects would indeed be a pain.
