When undeleting pages, sysops now have to ability to restore selected revisions rather than the full deleted history. I have posted some questions about the use of this feature to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Undeletion_policy and would appreciate comments there. The feature seems useful but has potential for abuse; a policy discussion is needed.
I have also added an explanation of what I figured out by testing the feature to [[Wikipedia:Viewing and restoring deleted pages by sysops]] ( http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Viewing_and_restoring_de... ); I would be grateful if the technical team would make sure I've explained it properly.

When it has community support. The last I heard, there wasn't even majority support, let alone consensus, for changing the status quo in the poll on this matter.
