    They keep copies of posts because people who mass edited their posts saw them reverted or have people reply still as if they were not edited.

      I had read that with some people, is was a delay from their server instance between read/write and in the end the changes did end up sticking, but I don’t know if that was true. A lot of people were mass editing at the same time, and since editing isn’t something that happens super frequently, it might have less priority in the stack and caused backups.
