the archiving scheme i'd like to see used is the one described here:

	http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?KeptPage

basically old versions are kept for a fixed amount of time rather then a
fixed number of copies.  the main advantage of this is that if a malicious
user comes in and starts trashing a page (or pages) you always have X
amount of time to recover old data.  i'd think that a month would be
reasonable though it would probably need to be tuned for high volume
sites.

sorry if this has alrady been discussed.
