For this, it seems more than enough

I made the same recommendation a few days ago and was told (admittedly
not by a developer) that "it would be too difficult to implement".
Bah.
Too difficult in the sense of "not worth it". I'm not just talking
about coding here though, since I'm not a coder and have no idea how
much effort it would cost the devs. I mean it may be too difficult and
too costly to implement administratively; see my other email in reply
to Jimbo. What I _don't_ want to see is an atmosphere where admins
are seen as obligated to scour the page histories to delete all vandal
edits. That would slow down RC patrol enormously, which is a job that
is tedious and rewardless enough as it is.
Still, I could be wrong, and I don't want to be that guy who is
opposed to all change, so maybe we should experiment with the idea on
a limited basis.
