Because the reason for the question may be an accidently committed
very important password or key to the world nobody should ever know
of, but there already have been performance related question and/or
some wanted to preserve disk space by only keeping most recent
versions and in those cases it's more then questionable if the
removable of versions will result in any benefit. In the scenarios I
read in the past it wouldn't.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thorsten Schöning
