Revert === Edit which makes it quite hard to make an edit, and would also block people from reverting reverts, or something. Plus it makes DOS attacks really really effective because new users have the biggest lock impact. The problem needs fixing with better tools for sorting out mess, not more weird and wonderful metrics for getting in people's way.
