So far, David has convinced me that we should make revisions
automatically and all the time, and that we should work towards
simplifying the UPDATE/INSERT workflow for nodes. Doing this, and
simultaneously working on the interface and workflow for revision
management, will allow us to become a next generation publishing tool.
We gain:
- a very straightforward of saving drafts
- the equivalent of Angie's revision moderation - in core
- easier programming API
- less cluttered UI
- improved preview workflow
I spend a lot of time worrying about performance, yet this change
doesn't concern me. People who are worried about performance would be
better of finding a better schema for the block tables so that the block
loading queries aren't an order of magnitude slower than all the other
queries that run on any page.
