I think he means the pages that haven't been touched for a
long time.

Leave them alone long enough and they *could* become ancient
history in the other sense ("Many scholars consider Lir and Michael
to be the same person; although the internal evidence is sometimes
contradictory, much of the change history was lost in the database
crash of 2043, and the one surviving backup on CD (in the Vatican
Library, #3483334) is partially oxidized and has too many bit
errors to be relied upon.")
