A non-current object version is a version which is not the latest for a given object. It is possible to set up an automatic removal of non-current versions when a version becomes older than a given number of days.

e.g., To scan objects stored under `user-uploads/` prefix and remove versions older than one year.

```
{
    "Rules": [
        {
            "ID": "Removing all old versions",
            "Filter": {

  # optional flags based filtering criteria
  # for all source objects
  flags:
	filter:
	  newerThan: "7d" # match objects newer than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
	  olderThan: "7d" # match objects older than this value (e.g. 7d10h31s)
	  createdAfter: "date" # match objects created after "date"
	  createdBefore: "date" # match objects created before "date"

	  ## NOTE: tags are not supported when "source" is remote.
