It's possible to get them, just not in export XML format. You can get them the 'usual' way with e.g.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=user|comment|timestamp|content&revids=123456|481516 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=user|comment|timestamp|content&rvstart=20090101000000&rvlimit=5&titles=Main_Page (5 most recent revisions of Main Page before Jan 1, 2009).
