As I've mentioned before in this thread, that isn't the whole case; rollback *will* revert more than one edit where there's a sequence of edits by the same contributor.
In that respect, it's much more powerful.
Ok, given that "undo" is not "rollback", and that "undo" is more user-friendly than "manual revert", can "undo" be enabled for all users for the most recent revision? And we'll keep calling it "undo" and insist that it's totally different from "rollback" and everyone will be happy, right?
I don't see a particular reason not to show it; it would just be the same as clicking 'edit' on the previous revision. :)
Precisely why it's unnecessary.

It's not exactly unnecessary if it's something helpful we can add. Or do you despise convenient user interfaces?

I concur, having an undo link on the last revision would be more intuitive then clicking on edit (at least for new users). Also if they see the undo link at the last revision, they might learn how to use it on older revisions as well.
