They're not deleting it, just hiding it from public access. Once the squatter goes away, the content comes back.

What's the difference? Both make this feature (and more general use of the archive) useless.
The difference is exactly what I said: if they deleted it, it's gone forever. If they hide it, it can come back. I've seen pages I cite disappear for a year or two thanks to scummy squatters - but they came back! It's the difference between being sentenced to execution and to 1 year of prison.
