I want to be able to convert (current/latest) epub to mobi without having to delete original-epub.
I still don't get whey it's unreasonable to want keep - in ONE library -all of original-epub ( my unedited source,) AND .epub (my current edited copy), AND be able to send the latter to kindle ( via an on the fly conversion) withough having to use separate libraries /other arcane workarounds
ORIGINAL_EPUB is not meant for archival purposes. It is meant as backup to revert conversions gone horribly wrong.

I am sure Kovid has already explained this.

It is unreasonable to expect a feature to be changed for the sake of something it was never intended to be.

You properly want an ebook versioning program. calibre is not that, and I don't think Kovid cares in the slightest about making it one. It certainly isn't worth HIS time.
