// In addition to these we have a special kind called free-version. This is represented
// using a delete-marker and MetaSys entries. It's used to track tiered content of a
// deleted/overwritten version. This version is visible _only_to the scanner routine, for subsequent deletion.
// This kind of tracking is necessary since a version's tiered content is deleted asynchronously.
