@D - @Andrew - PodPress broke with the introduction of revisions. I can't remember the exact reason why but I think it was saving the post meta against the revision instead of the post.

A patch was made (I think by Andrew Ozz) and made available to the PodPress author but they did not commit it and release an update.

I think in more recent versions of WordPress and second level of protection was added to add/update_post_meta() to stop it being added to post revisions as well (but this is only a hazy memory)

Personally I don't see what all the fuss is about, post revisions are a very important feature that allow you to work out what has changed and go back in time when a mistake has been made.

We do understand how some people might not want post revisions and that is why a simple define will turn them off / configure them.

However, 90% of users will not want to configure this functionality and therefore it makes no sense to add an extra amount of UI to configure it. The configuration is meant to be one time only not an ongoing changing thing so adding UI for it makes little sense.
