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.
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.
