NIP-01 is not quite that demanding. It says: "A relay may delete past set_metadata events once it gets a new one for the same pubkey." I had previously missed the fact that a relay MIGHT only send the latest metadata.

Honestly, I think that's a mistake. Deleting history is a dangerous precedent IMHO. I wonder what #[6] thinks about that?

In NostrPostr I copied what I found in another relay implementation: Set older entries to "hidden". As I find the evolving follows graph highly interesting, I do not intend to delete that data any soon. There is also people offering historic data that I missed.
