I appreciate your response. After checking one of the posts changed in the review I found that this feature was in place for it.
If this is the norm for reviews and changes otherwise remain rare,* this appears to take care of the major/immediate aspects that were of concern (w.r.t. preserving old links).
If at some future point LW (the site) ceases to exist, then things being formatted in this fashion might make preservation more difficult, but my concerns are currently more short term.
*It makes the following things trivial inconveniences, rather than large or mild:
after following an old link, accessing the original version (?revision=1.0.0)
when making a link to version two, making sure the link is to to the new version (?revision=2.0.0)
