It seem the house keeping process for server prefers to remove old
files before deleted files when storage is full.

As a result I can no longer restore any older version of any existing
files. I can only restore existing files as well as deleted files. For
me it's inconvenient, since the deleted files are usually deleted for
a reason, and not as important to keep stored as old versions of
files.
I wonder if this behaviour is considered a feature or a bug. Is it
possible to configure bbstored to remove deleted files before old
files, or to keep a more fair balance of deleted vs. old files?
Thanks,
Soren
