Mmm. Yeah. For a long time this was a feature which I knew would be nice but I was imagining would never happen, because the database space required is at least an order of magnitude greater than for Multiverse's current implementation. In particular, this would make my database size expand past the limit of Heroku's free hosting plan.

But that was quite a number of months ago. And, erm, the database is already four times the size that Heroku supposedly limit their free hosting plan to, and I haven't been charged or run up against any database size limits. So perhaps I could give this a try.

It's possible it might precipitate the inevitable move to paid-for hosting, at which point I probably would stick up a Paypal Donate button somewhere on the site. And I quite like not being at that state yet.

I'm feeling like a necromancer for posting here but has any further thought gone into this?

No need for necromancy; Multiverse is always happy to have old cards, sets, or requests revisited :)

I think this is actually quite reasonable. Cards don't have many edits compared to the amount of comments made; put another way, most cards in the database are created and then never edited. So yeah, I should give this serious consideration.

I fear I'm not getting much time to develop Multiverse at the moment, but I will bear this suggestion in mind.

I would also love this feature

I think this may be redundant with another comment I made recently, but I can't remember for sure, so I'm posting this one as well.
