"Out of interest" is not a valid reason as far as the Admin board is concerned, for allowing people to see the edit history of another user's posts.


Now, as for privacy, if it isn't a big deal to let other people see the post, rather than editing my post to delete it I usually just add an:

EDIT: ignore this post because _______

or

EDIT: Ninjaed by @______

Knowing when it is okay for edit history to be revealed would require human oversight, rather than always allowing it.
