 I experienced some issues with lost post data when developing a WP site
 using the themify.me "page builder" which stores a lot of the post data
 for posts and pages into custom fields on the post. The problem I had was
 that my previous changes to a page did not exist as revisions.

 It seems that Wordpress only creates a new revision when you change major
 fields such as title or post body - but not when you change custom fields
 or metadata fields.

 I think that Wordpress revisions should track ALL changes to a post or
 page, no matter how minor... Otherwise when people use custom fields or
 page builders, they don't get the benefits and peace of mind of the
 revision system.
