We need revisions and CRAP everywhere in core

Let's face it, content staging will never make it into core, there isn't one way to do it for everyone. But the lowest common denominators for any content staging, replication or syndication solution are revisions and CRAP - Create Read Archive Purge!

Drupal 8 have already brought us a really solid Entity API with good revision support. The Multiversion module takes this even further in contrib.

In this session some compelling arguments will be laid out for why we need revisions and a Create Read Archive Purge storage for all content entities in core! We weren't wrong when we identified this back in 2011 as the future of Drupal, we just need to do it!
A concrete and actionable plan for how we can implement this will also be introduced.

Code Sprint
