important to know it is not possible. So, if I understand well, only
entire page, or individual versions can be deleted ?
Hypothetically we could alter the contents of individual revisions, but
a) this is very hard to do right now
b) this will get much much harder in the future
c) it may become more or less impossible in the future (technical
requirements for immutable revision contents to make the storage backend
work and replicate cleanly)
d) tampering with the contents of historical revisions strikes me as
morally repugnant, even if it's legal. It sets a precedent for altering
history according to whim. It's the *edit history*, not the *current
public version*, for a reason.
