Id recommend either 10m or 10% of the database which ever is larger for new dumps to screen out a majority of the deletions. what are your thoughts on this process brion (and the rest of the tech team)?
Another idea: If $revision is deleted/oversighted/whateverhowmadeinvisible, then find out the block ID for the dump so that only this specific block needs to be re-created in next dump run. Or, better: do not recreate the dump block, but only remove the offending revision(s) from it. Shoulda save a lot of dump preparation time, IMO.
