Comment (by callumbw95):

 Hey all,

 I just came across this ticket, and it got me thinking about
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/phase-3/ Phase 3] and how the new
 page collaboration may be affected by this issue. As collaboration will
 rely on post revisions, I can see the revision count growing quite a bit
 quicker in the future for a single post. As in some of the cases mentioned
 above, people are hitting the memory limit quite quickly despite being
 well within the 1000 revision count. My concern around this issue is that
 sites may struggle with this much more in the future, and I wonder if this
 has this been taken into account during the development of post
 collaboration?
