How will this be exposed in the clients? Is there risk of accidentally corrupting data if a device has misconfigured its client to use non-conditional writes while another device is properly configured to do conditional writes? Is there any way to guard agains this?

Since delete will delete the object, there is nothing left-over afterwards.

Oh, you mean delete it after put, yes we could of-course do get/list/delete as well.
Only wanted to clarify for next write operation.
Yes that risk exists, this risk is similar to using single-device storage and having a multi-device app. It will be directly exposed in thin-client and will not be exposed in phase-2's PrimarySecondaryStorage. |

Just like popular kvstores, we should also support non-conditional put/delete operations. This opens up new patterns for usage of VSS, allows clients to easily onboard to VSS (without versioning, just for remote-backups) or to just use global_version for versioning and avoid key-level version checks.
