Revisions handling
------------------
Revisions are handled according to the principle of least astonishment: they are entirely removed.
- Either the users aren't aware of the revisions, are thus they should be deleted. For example journalists that are editing a document to erase mentions sources mentions.
- Or they are aware of it, and will likely not expect MAT2 to be able to keep the revisions, that are basically traces about how, when and who edited the document.
