I agree.

If the latter is the case, then we can probably use a simple tree. Here

Hello,
So Andreas and I discussed this IRL–we happen to be in the same local
GGUUG[*]. Here’s a summary.
Issues were:
1. Should generations from which we roll back be kept?

Hello,
For what it's worth, my 2 cents on the issue:

numbers. To try and understand Ludo's suggestion,
