One general improvement we could make the history is to optionally collapse long stretches of reversions.
It would be nice if the system would be generic enough to be used for hiding minor bot edits (not necessarily reversions), which is a longstanding problem on all projects: automated edits with little or real content (disambiguations, interwiki maintenance, template parameter changes etc.) clutter up the page histories, often to the point where real edits take as little as 20-25% of the history, making it nearly unusable.
