There is no need to "mark" the data as the database schema lets you view what it
was at any point in time.  Here are some useful things I think could be done:

 - A timeline showing changes over time
 - Being able to make any old record become current
 - Being able to view the state of things at any point in time

One use case is people like me who don't delete obsolete records because they
may come in handy at some point.  Kinda like how you don't delete stuff off
your hard disk unless it becomes full.

It would be nice to be able to remove some of the entries knowing full well
I could see them again and/or revive them.
