I've already said that I think it is good for users to be able to hold onto undo history when reverting. Be _able_ to.
As a matter of fact, as one user, I have used this feature for quite a while, ever since the original post of the code (command `revert-buffer-keep-undo') on Emacs Wiki.
What should have been discussed, and is not necessarily a good change, is replacing `revert-buffer' with this behavior, useful as it might be and preferred as it might be for interactive use by some users (including me).
