[db-wg] NWI-2 Displaying history for database objects where available

I agree with Nick.  

If you want to do some research on the history of some prefix.. where it came from, what geo-location it had .. or who the previous owner was or how large the prefix originally was..  

It helps to be able to pull that data from the DB.  
Currently, parent blocks are simply deleted or removed .. and with them, the history ..  

I would like to see parent prefixes to be ‘de-activated’  .. or something .. so that you can still query them with some special flags.

    history is important if you're interested in transferring number
    resources.  The current implementation blocks version data if the number
    resource has ever been de-registered in the past.  I would be in favour
    of seeing the full history.
