For this, it seems more than enough to make such revisions available in some limited-access way. There's just no reason to keep this junk cluttering up the publicly-viewable article history.
I made the same recommendation a few days ago and was told (admittedly not by a developer) that "it would be too difficult to implement". Bah.
Too difficult in the sense of "not worth it". I'm not just talking about coding here though, since I'm not a coder and have no idea how much effort it would cost the devs. I mean it may be too difficult and too costly to implement administratively; see my other email in reply to Jimbo. What I _don't_ want to see is an atmosphere where admins are seen as obligated to scour the page histories to delete all vandal edits. That would slow down RC patrol enormously, which is a job that is tedious and rewardless enough as it is.
Still, I could be wrong, and I don't want to be that guy who is opposed to all change, so maybe we should experiment with the idea on a limited basis.
