> 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.
Absolutely no reason why that cant be done with the post stored in the
*_posts table. The post_type is set to 'revision' and theres Indexes on
the appropriate fields to speed lookups
> It would also allow a potential variant of keeping only the last
revision, as an example, for any post.
> Quite simply, enough people don't need revision history at all
Well, Revisions are a great benfit to many people, However many people do
not realise how useful they are, However, It is both possible to disable
completely, And also limit it to storing x number of Revisions (Excluding
autosaves): http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6775#comment:29
> so why subject them to all the db overhead and such for no reason?
I do believe the Overhead would be very minimal, Database indicies are
used for a reason, To speed lookups and filtering, The post table probably
allready contains more attachments than posts for some people as it is.
