Comment(by filosofo):

 How about adding a filter that makes this easy to disable via plugin and
 commenting in the relevant file?

 It does have the air of a site attack to it:  {{{wp-admin/js/revisions-
 js.php}}} looks just like files that have been compromised.

 Also, the obfuscated JS violates the GPL 2:
 {{{
 The source code for a work means the preferred form
 of the work for making modifications to it.
 }}}
 ([http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html GPL 2])

 However, since this was put in with great effort (to the extent of
 stopping Trac notifications) by Matt himself, and because there's been
 little opposition to it, any realistic solution has to accept that it's
 not going to be removed.
