Deleting only edits that were immediately reverted, or deleting all edits more recent than a given timestamp (basically an uber rollback, but whatever you do don't call it that!), would work.
Why not? If rollback deleted all revisions by the last editor to the page instead of merely reverting them, page histories on popular articles might actually become usable again!
Zero chance of such a thing ever getting approval, of course, but it would work. :)
Why not call it uber rollback? Simply because it will cause a reawakening of the current rollback controversy. Give it a different name and people will accept it without comment.
