One of many scenarios where this will prove to be a hindrance:

1. I create a page using the PHP filter containing sensitive information.
2. I forget to select the PHP input format.
3. I notice this and edit the page again and select the correct format.
4. I think all is well.

Anybody who can view revisions will be able to see my sensitive information.
