We need a way to lock revisions from public view, separately from
deleting the article. A locked revision would remain in the edit
history (showing the date and editor who made it) but would not be
viewable (nor could a diff be constructed against it) except by an
administrator. The ability to lock (and unlock) revisions needs to be
restricted to admins. That would take care of the libel and copyvio
issues.
It's almost enough to get me coding again.

Yes but unfortunately as it is now edit summaries are always viewable to
anyone even when deleted which the vandals have figured out and are now
using to get away with slander and privacy policy violations which it
takes a developer to remove. If something like this is implemented
admins should have the ability to also hide the edit summary from being
seen by non admins
