I know I did after a while and finally decided that those old revisions or originals were relatively worthless, particularly after a piece was published.

I already have subversion and TortoiseSVN installed for my day job, so there isn't really any extra work for me. In fact, this way I find it easier to keep regular backups/snapshots of the state of a project, which is reassuring.
It is very very rare that I compare revisions in my writing, I mentioned it only as a comparison/cross-reference to the supposed advantages of using plain text with a version management system.
I quite agree that the old revisions are relatively worthless after a certain point, I can clean them up if/when I want, and probably will eventually, but for now subversion keeps them neatly tucked away so they aren't really any trouble; a bit of disk space used, but that's all.
