You should have a policy to delete old versions after a threshold. Keeping them all will not be sustainable on most relays. And most relays already delete them anyway, so it wouldn't be a surprise to users if you do delete them as well.

deleting them doesn’t clear up space, this is just how lmdb and strfry works

That seems like a massive problem, then. Regardless of drafts.

The changes to contact lists alone will fill it up very quickly. Especially now that we are incentivizing more adds and removes from the follow list to avoid getting it so big.

This is why rate limiting is so important, people can fill the disk quickly otherwise. I can always nuke the relay when it gets too big, so it’s not a big deal.
