Comment:

 My suggestion would be to create a table called wp_revisions, and write
 off the old version to the revision table instead.  If someone wants to
 revert, it would be simple to pull a list of revisions.  Further,it would
 be very simple to create a process that removed revisions after a set
 amount of time (say 30 days, adjustable in the admin) to avoid ending up
 with a big database.

 It would also allow a potential variant of keeping only the last revision,
 as an example, for any post.

 Revisions also need to be a settings option.  Quite simply, enough people
 don't need revision history at all, so why subject them to all the db
 overhead and such for no reason?
