Comment:

 In [attachment:25123.diff] - remove the revisions meta box.

 I created a plugin to recreate the meta box @
 https://github.com/adamsilverstein/wp-revisions-meta-box

 So far, I only removed the actual call adding the meta box; do we want to
 deprecate the rest of the functionality (and maybe move it to the plugin)?
 Might `wp_list_post_revisions` be in use by plugins?


 * Note that [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.1/src/wp-admin
 /edit-form-advanced.php#L152 this call] to `wp_get_post_revisions` still
 grabs all revisions for the post, just to get their count and the last
 revision id. That seems pretty inefficient! (especially for a large number
 of / large revisions).
