Absolutely. I should be more clear: it doesn't happen so often for any
PARTICULAR module, so the git history of any particular module is not
likely to get polluted by many revert commits. (And even if it does --
so what if your history doesn't look quite as nice as you'd like.) But
it happens a LOT for GNOME as a whole, and it's a big problem, which is
why I'm so supportive of Emmanuele's plan.
