The 'deleterevision' permission is an instrumental supply if you want to
delete a revision of a page due to adding libelous information.
But it also allows suppressing log entries and some sysadmins don't want
to grant their administrators this possibility.

'deleterevision' as "delete a revision" is no additional possibility.
Revisions can also be deleted with 'delete' and 'undelete' permission
(but it's more difficult than 'deleterevision' process).

My suggestion is splitting 'deleterevision' permission into:

deleterevision: (un)deleting revisions only
suppresslogentry: (un)hiding log entries only

Cheers,
Tim
