On the other hand, I think A) It is a matter of important historical record at this point, and B) It sets an unseemly precedent. Can we move the deleted history out of that article and into an archive page, perhaps with a permanant front page that notes what it is, and that it is a collection of vandalism?
It is still stored in the database, just not publicly available. This strikes me as sufficient to deal with concerns about the historical record.
If someone wants to make a publicly available cache somewhere, I would advise extreme caution about it, but I don't think it is appropriate for us.
