   I can revert it back. This has been a recurring source of confusion and complains among our customer base, and having inconsistent results prior and after compaction doesn't seem right, maybe we should make HBASE-15968 solution default here?
   
   > I skimmed the comments on jira and also the patch, so the approach here is when we delete a specific version, we will go through all the old versions and added a delete marker for them if needed.

   Yeah, but it's the same current behaviour for manually deleted ones, right? I guess both are solved by HBASE-15968 solution?
