I find plenty of copyvios that are several days old, and I've had to undo the work of weeks or months because some people just copy and paste stuff from other web sites (no, not WP mirrors) without being caught. That is a very unpleasant experience for everyone involved, especially if other editors kept working on the text in good faith.
I wonder what we can do to improve the situation.
Making it easier to selectively delete old versions from the history would help a lot in making sure the stuff is not easily accessible. (I expect that's a "Great! Write it.")
