I don't quite follow you... is this based on a philosophical view that
deleting any information is bad? If so, then another solution to my
problem with bad revisions could be to create a new revision based on
an old (good) revision.

So if R0 is the revision with SPAM, then I could create revision R1
based on a copy of R-1 and then nothing would have been deleted.

If it's not about this, then I don't understand the problem - the
ability for the administrator to delete a single revision is just a
more fine-grained version of the 'Remove Page' button the
administrator has access to now.
