   People seem to be reluctant to revert build-breaking changes in
   this project but I'm in favour of a more active approach. So:

That is because it is easier, and less disruptive to fix the offending
commit.  Than commit, revert, commit, maybe revert since it doesn't
really fix the build ... it messes up not only history, but is a pain
to do.
