   @BeatriceThalo what is your intended use of this feature? I am concerned 
about your reliance on it.
   
   The reason for the resistance is that prior "revisions" shouldn't be relied 
upon to exist at all. This behaviour changed with 2.0. 
   
   Prior "revisions" exist only as a means to an end - consistent replication. 
Compaction (and the automatic compaction daemon) or replication can remove them 
at any time.
   
   CouchDB isn't a version control tool; if you need to ensure access to "prior 
revisions" of a document, you must store them as different documents.
   
   ~~I'm pretty sure @janl and I would both be +1 on a button to click that 
shows all conflicted versions of a document, though.~~
