Exactly! It is limited, as it should be. Nobody except Oversights (and
above) needs to know that something has been oversighted, because I am sure
that oversighted stuff can still be found externally, if you look in the
right places. Why take a chance?

Which is why the oversight thing is very limited in the first place.
Besides, any indicators of what stuff has been removed are bad; it's
simply a red flag saying "Hey! Something got removed here! Look in
the mirrors and dumps to see if any of them have it!". That's what
happened when the oversight feature was first implemented, which is
why the oversight log is no longer public.
