Um, if you're talking about being able to delete individual revisions, that was a looooong requested feature. In fact it was achievable before by deleting the entire page, then undeleting every revision except those you wanted gone. This was commonly done where needed, at least on the English Wikipedia, long before the concept of "oversighter" existed. Now the same thing is done using the RevisionDelete system, introduced in 2009, which I assume is what you are talking about. Its use by admins is different from "oversight", because the revision content is still visible to admins, and the presence of a revison is still visible - even to non-admins. Of course if you can demonstrate a consensus on the French Wikipedia to change the user rights setup, and file a bug, I'm sure the developers will act on that. But bear in mind the same thing is possible as long as admins have the ability to delete/undelete.
