Though search is of primary importance, object history is obviously
very important as well -- both auditing (Audit Log pattern) and
rolling back/comparing changes (Temporal Object pattern) are very
common use cases (see Martin Fowler's treatment of these and some
other patterns for things that change with time at
http://martinfowler.com/ap2/timeNarrative.html ). It's nice that Marty
has worked on it, but as Jacob said, it needs finishing. Audit Log,
Temporal Object and Temporal Property patterns should be implemented
and it should be possible to activate any combination of these. And
there needs to be an intuitive way to access the snapshots.
Considering its general applicability it should perhaps also be
integrated in django.contrib.

P.S. s/abrastraction/abstraction/ in my previous post... what a
bastardly word!
