Yes, I agree.

Is the solution I gave good enough for you for now? I don't see any  
easy and generic way of adding this to the core. Creating a new  
"History Right" would be too complicated for this right now. I think  
we need to overhaul our rights system so that it can scale and then we  
should probably add more rights (same as what JIRA is doing for issues  
for example - It has 20 or so rights). Or course it makes xwiki more  
complex to use too.

Thanks
