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

IMO.
Apparently there aren't.
// Put things hidden from sysops in the oversight log
$logtype = ( ($nbitfield | $obitfield) &
Revision::DELETED_RESTRICTED ) ? 'suppress' : 'delete';
Could I ask what the reasoning is for this? I can see the reasoning
for CheckUser being almost entirely secret, but it seems impossible to
me that there's any scenario in which the mere action of the removal
needs to be hidden. Are there any objections to at least adding a
summary-less public log entry in addition to the full private entry?
Actually, if there are reasons why the summary couldn't be public too,
I'd like to hear those.
