The text "4 revisions not shown" would be a hyperlink that would
expose the collapsed revisions. The revisions would still be
available for everyone to view; they just wouldn't be given the same
level of visibility as revisions that had a more lasting effect on the
current article.
I've drafted this up here:

I think this could be done almost purely in Javascript. An extension or
something would only need to add checksum of revisions to the page. The
script would then collapse this onload. It could also collapse edits of
the same user.
BTW. Wikia has something similar on recent changes. Not sure which
extensions do they use.
