I think you may have misread the request (or if not, I'm misunderstanding your
reply). We're not asking to be able to hide the current version (text) of a
page. But why would the only use of being able to hide the username or edit
summary be to hide an accidental log-out? The uses are the same as for any
other revision. An edit by an account with personal information in the name may
not need reversion, just hiding the name; or an edit with a bad edit summary
may not make any changes that require reversion, just edit summary removal.
This is particularly true in abusive pagemove vandalism, where no content is
changed at all, but the current revision will have a bad edit comment
automatically generated from moving the page back from the bad page name, like
"(show/hide) 05:55, April 1, 2009 Admin (talk | contribs | block) m (9,667
bytes) (moved John Doe lives at 1234 Main Street! to User:John Doe over
redirect: Pagemove vandalism cleanup) (rollback)."
