Comment (by jlambe):

 This could be a great feature. I'm having a situation where I need to
 maintain documentation pages (saved as WordPress pages post type). One
 revision is published but now we need to update its content with new
 features for example.

 So start typing and adding new lines in the editor of the current
 published revision. What would be great is a "Save as a revision" kind of
 button which will save the new changes but without publishing them. Then
 allow a user to logout and come back anytime edit the revision and when
 everything seems good, have the choice to publish it.

 Like @paulshriber explains, it's not clear what the "Restore this
 revision" button is doing. As a end-user, I expected it to load its
 content inside the editor, allow me to edit it and perhaps publish it
 immediately right after.

 Really looking into this feature and I can help too ;)
