I'm going to wontfix this. The fact that the meta functions check for revisions was a terrible decision at the time, and was done to cover up misuse of the save_post hook. Changing this could break even more things. Leaving it as is. Eventually we'll fork all of these functions and hopefully do away with these entirely.

There are backwards compatibility concerns, see the response in comment:4.
A workaround is just to check wp_is_post_revision() in your own code before calling get_post_meta().
What is the reasoning behind the proposed change? This will break #20564, #23539 and possibly others.
