Way to retain original mastery position in the event of revision and remaster

[suspect15]

A few people have recently expressed to me some pretty big disappointment having lost their original mastery position rank due to minor revisions that occurred. I understand why people who put in the effort to master a set first, then lose that position unexpectedly due to a small revision that is later made feel very dejected. I'm wondering if there would be an easy way for someone to retain their original ranking after they remaster a revision.

For example, the first person to master a set will jump back to the first mastery after a revision is released upon remastering the set.

I realize this is a bit of a sticky discussion and there are a lot of potential counterarguments, but I think the most harm is done to the people that put in significant effort early in a set's release to secure either a first mastery or first 10 spot. That's why I'm suggesting this feature be added.

If mastery badges are retained then one could rely on counting these?

What about multiple mastery order lists. Once a revision is made store the original masteries as a "rev 1" and then there's historical tracking. I mean... the DB implementation is almost certainly not straight forward, but that gives the best of both worlds.
