You are over-exaggerating my comments. Do you really expect a four day old account to know how to use rollback appropriately? I certainly don't, and I think having a scarred block log for messing up with a rather powerful tool that until the other day only admins could have is a little unfair to the user.
How about it's an option buried in preferences then? If it's off (default) then rollback links aren't shown. When they become more experienced someone can direct them to turn it on.
And btw, I don't see how a four day old editor would know how to edit properly either, at least they wouldn't know the MOS well enough to follow every detail. Different cases, yes, but still, we're giving a hell of a lot more power away by letting people edit the content of pages than just roll back versions.
(This is the kind of discussion that should have taken place on-wiki, *before* this thing was implemented.)
