Ahem. Let's not take ourselves too seriously, Okay?
While this is MUD-Dev, and we do tend to stretch the limits of
conceivability and infinitely distant possibility far more often
than we probably should, that doesn't mean we also can't just trot
out, discuss, and implement nice, safe, well known and
unimaginatively workable solutions that just do the job cheaply and
efficiently.

Yes, quite. This is a pet interest of mine that I've had to abandon
in the face of bandwidth concerns (specifically the whole
time-travel concept just doesn't work without an order or two of
magnitude increase in mass storage bandwidth).

It came up here at least once, but I'm definitely interested in any
other forums that discuss such.
