Comment (by nacin):

 "Revisions: X" is not just to link to the new revisions screen, but also
 to provide the user a data point. For example, "this post underwent 65
 individual changes while drafting it". It isn't much different than a word
 count metric. It is also better than the long, ridiculous meta box that
 otherwise serves little purpose.

 If the install is restricted to 3 revisions, but a user has saved 5 times,
 then they have edited that post 3+ times. Technically, if they have only
 saved 3 times, it still shows "3+". You can read "3+" as "3 or more". The
 fourth save will again continue to show "3+".

 So just keep in mind it isn't just about what is stored — the actual count
 could be useful or interesting to someone.
