Honestly with a quick look I could not find it stated unequivocally that the
active version of a
file is never deleted, but they are  not. There is an active version of a file
until the file is not found on the
client machine during a backup (deleted) is matched to an exclude statement
during backup (excluded).
If a client does a backup and then the machine is removed from service and no
other backup using that
client node name is ever performed then all inactive versions will expire, but
the active versions will still
exist until the clients filespaces are deleted.
