Several implementations I've worked with simply append a deletion marker 
or append a new variable value until the variable store fills up 
entirely, at which point a garbage collection event is either run or 
scheduled for the next reboot. The spec doesn't define how this is 
handled so unfortunately I don't think there's any way to get a pony 
here.
