Not at the price of looking like censorship and distorting the
historical record.

We have very carefully designed boilerplate, and the point of
boilerplate is precisely that it's there even if people don't
read it. We're an open voluntary standards organisation;
we're still not the Internet Police.

I'm strongly against removing drafts from the public record unless
they are obscene or libellous.
