Whose night. Wikipedia never sleeps.
Good point, but I think you will find that it doesn't really matter when
it gets wiped. Do we even need revisions at all apart from say 2 or 3
for the purpose of feature demonstration. However if you are really asking
for a time: Wiping at 0:00 UTC would make the most sense...

Adding special cases to the code to restrict the number of revisions that a
particular page will save...messy and possibly difficult.
Adding a bot to move a page, create a new version of the original page, and
add a speedy tag to the moved page...relatively clean, not too hard to
program, and keeps the main code pristine.
