Unless you're using my backbuilder, too-agressive library pruning will 
force you to download cachedrevs to produce old revisions (e.g. when 
merging).  Compared with producing revisions from library revisions, 
this is usually slower, and it takes more space because you don't take 
advantage of the hard-linking optimization.

Someone should write a script that keeps the *oldest* revision as well 
as the *newest* revision.

Not me, I've got the backbuilder :-)
