Oversight is used in cases where information needs to be removed from sight, including the sight of admins, deleting revisions doesn't achieve that. That's why we have oversight.
Well, yes. That doesn't have much of anything to do with the question of admin deletion, which is what this entire thread is about. They're different privileges.
Of course, that's why we like all actions to be reversible. Deciding who can do what isn't really for us to do - it should be a setting in LocalSettings.php.
Of course it's for you to do, more or less, within Foundation mandate. Projects get to request changes to their settings in LocalSettings.php (within reason -- asking for all sysops to get oversight or checkuser isn't going to fly).
