Rollback deducting from edit counts is an interesting idea, and I see how it could be helpful, but it may come with a bunch of complexity (rollback can affect more than one edit and is another number to track, for example). We'll discuss it though.

It's a little bit off topic for this post, but since it came up here: there's no awards or long-term tracking on the Top Contributions. Next week it will be as if that user never edited.
