In a dynamic site, redundant pages should be retained after being unpublished. There are many reasons for this of which the most important is for evidence in court proceedings.
This is not the same as revisioning (although it is related).
An example would be where a placeholder page is created and a new node, perhaps of a different type, replaces it in due course.
When documents and media are unpublished, they remain in the Content lists, which creates long lists that can be confusing where documents have similar titles.
It would be very helpful if an unpublished node or media could be marked as "archived" and a separate archive content/media list made available so that only current documents, including unpublished documents, appear in the active lists.
So far as I can see, there is no reason to remove the archived documents from the current datatable which would, of course, require massive work.
I have found that this issue has been rumbling around since D6 and so there is obviously interest in it but various attempts to address it with modules have foundered. As this is part of Core, perhaps it is a development / feature that will be useful.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
