I completely agree with Pieren here. Unless you're part of the happy fews, if case of vandalism/error, you're forced to painstakingly repair by hand the problems (and that's if you're lucky and potlatch succeed at restoring all that's necessary). This is a problem I've personally encountered when a new user damaged a lot of stuff near where I live. Hopefully I could spot it quickly (thanks to itoworlds' graphical diff), but it was long to repair and I may very well have left some crumbs behind me as being thorough is hard when reverting way by way, node by node...
We really need an easy way to revert changes, and eventually combine that with local comities of "power users". Being open doesn't mean we have to remain all equals (esp. since, in fact, we're not).
