Bad code or not, its a design decision made somewhen before 2008.
We just have to deal with it. Also, it was done this way to prevent loss.

Also, you typically don't want to deal with the deleted-filtering. Sending
#versionsWithoutDeleted all over the place is even worse code, no matter what.
It was the most practical solution back then, I suppose.
