Ahem.
The revision size (and page size, meaning that of last revision) in
bytes, is available in the API. If you change the definition there is
no telling what you will break. Essentially you can't.
A character count would have to be another field.

No, we'd just have to repurpose rev_len to
mean "characters" instead
of "bytes", and update all the old rows. We don't actually need the
byte count for anything, do we?
Byte count is used. For example in Chinese Wikipedia, one of the
criteria of "Did you know" articles is ">= 3000 bytes".
