[Foundation-l] Proposal re: sep11.wikipedia.org

[James Hare]

I recognize that, but I didn't work it properly. In order to comply, AND
delete extremely old edits, we have to copy the older edit history over to
the talk page. But space is not a pressing issue, so why don't we do what we
have been doing, which has not been a problem? Hard disk drives are cheap.

And in 100 years, while the amount of edits will add up, better hard drives
with more capacity will become cheaper. Much cheaper. Heck, it'll become
much better and much cheaper in 10 years.
