But we expect something different in the case where a value was updated and the more current value is available on other nodes. Restoring an old value don't matter then.

    Yes, but the same is true if you restore a relational DB from backup :-D

            Btw, this whole issue is not really Riak specific. It is
            essentially a
            consequence of eventual consistency, where you have to make
            a trade off
            between the amount of bookkeeping information you want to
            store and the
            maximum amount of time (or number of updates) any part of
            the system can
            diverge from the rest of the system before you get undesired
            results.


        The 'eventual consistency' description makes you think the
        system will eventually fix itself, though. But, won't you have a
        similar scenario - and even more difficult to fix - where for
        one reason or another you need to restore a backed up bitcask
        file that contains items deleted after the time the backup was done?
