What exactly did you try? You'd need to change indexes on the
underlying table for this to work acceptably.
And I don't see the point to allow users to see
the archives-table, but not
the deleted revisions (the critical stuff is in the hidden-table anyway).
I'm not clear on why toolserver users are allowed to see deleted
revisions to begin with. rev_deleted is supposed to supplant
oversight, and that includes things that nobody is really supposed to
see. I particularly don't understand why we hide stuff from the
logging table but not the revision table.
