 setup seems like a misstep.

 I think it's the right call. That said, the revisions meta box can be re-
 enabled via code with:

 {{{
 add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'nacin_restore_the_revisions_meta_box' );
 function nacin_restore_the_revisions_meta_box( $post_type, $post ) {
     if ( wp_revisions_enabled( $post ) )
         add_meta_box('revisionsdiv', __('Revisions'),
 'post_revisions_meta_box', null, 'normal' );
 }
 }}}

 I could go for re-enabling the meta box for 3.6, given that it is hidden
 by default anyway. Can remove the bloat in 3.7 after revisions UI gets
 even better. (We'd keep `Revisions: #` and the "Browse" link.) Just a
 matter of uncommenting a function call.
