There is one thing I still don't know how to explain properly, and people are going to be probably confused about: I have an array of 10 elements, chunk size 1, first commit I ingest 0-4, second commit I ingest 5-9. Now I expire first commit. The data is not gone, you lost version resolution but the data is still there.

the way they should think about expiration + GC should be ... "I'll never try to checkout a version that is older than N days"

using the snapshot written_at is never recommended
