nope - the binaries are referenced in so-called manifests (formal change
records of any repo content), and removing them affects not only those
checkins, but all checkins which subsequently derive (even indirectly) from
them. A change of a checkin changes its hash, invalidating anything which
points to its old hash. Fossil intentionally makes it _very_ difficult
(effectively impossible) to change the past.
