Many deletions are automatic, and the vast majority of them are not checked. We
generally trust our sysops, but we should still consider potential mistake and
abuse when implementing a new functionality. The fact this topic has been
surrounded by controversy makes it even more needed.

Yet, this is not the primary reason justifying a separate log, but simply
because those actions are not of the same type, and sufficiently different
technically and in use. One will generally want to check 'page deletions' and
not 'revision deletions', or vice-versa. Not having the differentiation would
be more time consuming due to the volume of operations.

Incidentally, I don't see what negative effects this could have. We have four
quasi-unused log types on enwiki (merge, import, global rights and global
account), and this is not seen as a big problem. But this one would be much
more used.
