It is absolutely correct to state I had no idea that reverting a patch
that had gone in without consensus and that was still under discussion
required the reversal patch to be posted in any special way. I don't
see any such rule spelled out. Still, I followed the written procedure:
I posted the proposal, met the consensus criterion and, after several
days, I installed the proposed reversal.
I do not see how it was a mistake. It was *fixing* a mistake. If
anything, I might not have to have waited that long to do so, but since
following the procedures was not such a big deal, I did.
