This essentially removes a lot of the accountability of edits, though. What's the point of having things like 3RR when the only way to verify that one person is reverting multiple times is by dragging a steward or bcrat over to an article? There are so many content disputes raging at any given time we'd either have to massively beef up the bcrat force or watch articles spiral into doom as a content dispute rages on without anyone being available to help straighten things out.

Such revert wars can be checked by technological means also, so we would not need to beef up stewards or bureaucrats. For example, if the software detects a revert war, then it can allow admins to see who has edited.
