In light of the past few months' experience in what kind of revision-deletion people would _like_ to be doing if we had it finished, I'm starting to complete implementation of rev_deleted, changing it from the originally planned flag to a bitfield:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bitfields_for_rev_deleted
The bitfield gives us some more options to suppress comments and usernames where necessary while keeping them in history in more common cases.

Are you planning on making this replace our current deletion implementation (archive) alltogather? Because INSERT DELETE is evil and it would be nice not having to deal with it.

It's needed to hide user, target, and/or comment from Special:Log entries, I think.
Because: * Personal attack or harassment with username or page title. -- user creation log, deletion log, and block log. * Copyvio with username or page title. -- user creation log, deletion log, and block log. * (Accidently) copyvio in deletion log comment (autofill content). -- deletion log.

I suspect we can consider short quotes of content in the deletion log to be fair use. ;)
