This way we'll be able to see what people thought on a particular topic at the time - isn't this very like a blog? I think the answer to your question is that you should just buy more (using the clothes analogy). Your ideas at the time are still your ideas - and you shouldn't delete them. David said that we want complexity - we want to find the answers - that means if someone is reading an old post of yours they will (if they want complexity) pay attention to the date as well as the content and then maybe explore some of your newer ideas as well as the old. I love your analogy - great post! David also said that part of the value of the Wikipedia is the discussion that will be archived for years to come.
