That's only an issue if the edit wasn't reverted. No edit should be oversighted/deleted without being reverted first.
This "should" you speak of - are you referring to an enforced rule on all WMF projects or your own personal opinion? Because, things *are* oversighted/deleted without being reverted first. It happens, and it will most likely continue to happen. Allowing it to happen in a way that doesn't violate the GFDL would be a good thing.
