To move, create, and tag for speedy, the bot should *not* need the sysop
bit.

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.
True, a bot would be better. It wouldn't need admin rights, would it?
