After learning that forum-feedback may result in fixes I find it worthwhile to post this, which has been a draft in my notes for quite a while.
The documentation on versioning reads, under Maximum Age:
If only for 10 days, use 10.
Yet, the actual maxAge configuration states:
The maximum time to keep a version, in seconds.
Only one of these statements can be true. Alternatively; Maybe this is another case of web user interface versus XML config context? If so; It could perhaps, especially considering both the above facts are on the same page, be made more clear.
