The API must be kept simple. I agree that lifecycle support needs improvement but the API is not the place to implement such specific rules. The API is, and should remain, first and foremost a storage engine that does not care about what you store in it. I think that much of the functionality you desire could be achieved by improving the filter capabilities of the API. The API should always return what the client requests, and not add any magic evaluation rules itself. It is up the the client to decide whether it wants past or future objects, and how it wants to communicate a deletion to the API. Improved filtering would not even require API 0.7 because it would just add a few things and leave the existing stuff untouched.
