In light of the past few months' experience in what kind of revision-deletion people would _like_ to be doing if we had it finished, I'm starting to complete implementation of rev_deleted, changing it from the originally planned flag to a bitfield:

The bitfield gives us some more options to suppress comments and usernames where necessary while keeping them in history in more common cases.
Are you planning on making this replace our current deletion implementation (archive) alltogather? Because INSERT DELETE is evil and it would be nice not having to deal with it.
