Oversight has no visible logs, How then can we guard the guards? Options

So I saw http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&oldid=99049386 in my watchlist. Shows removed edit

Go into history and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&action=history it's removed

View logs http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...page=Talk:4chan

Likely personal information. I was curious why no logs. None on wikipedia. None on www.mediawiki.org or meta.mediawiki.org


http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...er:66.248.97.31 says blocked for personal information

But http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Oversight says Oversight has logs.

Apparently it no longer does.

I don't see what would be so bad about making such logs public?

I remember reading that anti-Wikipedia sites were downloading old database dumps and retrieving the information that was later oversighted. So they stopped showing them publicy to avoid that from happening.
