Versioning is, like, hard for backfilling backwards because of the number of Home Servers involved.
Versioning is, like, hard for backfilling backwards because of the number of homeservers involved.
The way we solve this is by doing versioning as an acyclic directed graph of PDUs. For backfilling purposes, this is done on a per context basis.
When we send a PDU we include all PDUs that have been received for that context that hasn't been subsequently listed in a later PDU. The trivial case is a simple list of PDUs, e.g. A <- B <- C. However, if two servers send out a PDU at the same to, both B and C would point at A - a later PDU would then list both B and C.
