   part of @davisp 's comment is relevant here:
   
   >If you were to attempt to implement this feature you would end up in a situation where it was roughly random on whether the links worked correctly even so far as having document bodies appearing and disappearing with a page refresh.
   
   is key to understanding this. If you're in a cluster there's no guarantee that all nodes are consistent on previous versions. We can't special case Fauxton for this specific need.
   
   Further, see https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/2368 which says:
   
   > I should also point out that in the 4.0 release there won't be a compaction process at all -- old document revisions will be removed immediately when the new update is committed.
   
   4.0 is just around the corner.
