Question: what's logging like for this? Are there public logs? Even
just "User:So-and-so disabled bits Z, Y, and X of revision W, article
[[Blah blah]]" would be very beneficial to have in the public eye,
IMO.

clear what level of oversight is required for any given oversight.
Thus the old ones need to be ported to "fully hidden" status.
It's best
to be cautious here, and to avoiding fixing issues that a) may cause more
problems, and b) don't actually exist yet, and may never come up.
The issue of transparency is a perpetual one, not one might or might
not come up in the future. It would be of immediate and definite
value for everyone to be assured that there are no longer any edits
made in the past that have been completely hidden from everyone except
an elite few, on a community-run encyclopedia that anyone in the world
can participate in.
