This is tricky ground though. Somebody could decide to selectively
delete meaningful contributions from which the current version of a
page are derived. The only edits you can selectively delete under the
GFDL are those which did not serve as a basis for later derivatives.
Yup which means a copyvio will generally mean deleting back to the
last clean version which can be a bit of a pain.
