Non-admin users see the redacted entries only, so that's not a concern.

The difference for admins is that the date is innocuous. A clickable date says
"there was material here that got deleted, click here to view it" but doesn't
expose the offensive or disruptive material on their screen if they don't want
to see it. But the main reason an edit comment gets revdeleted is if it is
grossly offensive or disruptive, perhaps even including virus links in some
cases. So that should continue to be as it is now ("comment removed" greyed
out).

If the admin wants to see the edit comment, they can click on the revision link
as normal, and with one click it's shown with the revision. Not initially
exposing the revdeleted username and edit comment is sensible. The link to the
revision via the date field is both harmless and useful.
