Does it even make sense to add a _retain key to prevent compaction?
Or is the fact that CouchDB keeps previous revisions of documents just
an implementation detail to deal with conflicts / concurrency, and so
I shouldn't be tempted to use it for other purposes?
Sorry if I missed any earlier discussions about this topic,

Jim Lindley closed COUCHDB-36.
------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Revisions shouldn't be used for archival purposes, so saving them from compaction doesn't make sense.
