Well, I'm willing to take the risk. I can already see diff with 'd', see
the buffer with 'C-r', so I have all the tools to make sure I mean to
discard the changes, and then Emacs will still ask me:

Revert buffer from file /home/osv/f/firm/make/defaults.make? (y or n)

right?

In the end, doesn't seem to be that dangerous to me.

Is there a way to add features to this prompt through customizations?
I'd then opt for C-M-g: revert the buffer.

Thanks, this way I do know, but often it's very inconvenient, especially
when there are multiple buffers to handle.
