Clever! But again, what if Y is already obsolete at version 2?
LOL - once an object of class Y is stored in an archive and kept around - by definition - it can't be obsolete. Obsolete suggests it will never be used - archiving suggest it will be.
That's one way to look at it. Your archive just adds and adds and accumulates data over time. Yet, if you think outside the box, a skippable archive allows you to subtract data and flag some data as obsolete. No one is ever so brilliant as to plan from version 1 what happens with version 100 :) If adding is a possibility, I do not see why subtracting is not.
