Reverting is only an option if we need to solve a technical problem. If
there is no problem then why would we revert it? The only argument I've
seen for reverting the patch is that it broke a process.

It's hard enough for Developers to get code in without a team of
Anti-Developers trying to take it back out again. Perhaps we should have
an anti-credits section in the release notes to allow all those who've
managed to get work removed get full credit for their anti-efforts. :-)
