I strongly suggest we undo the reversion and then wait for the good time
to discuss bringing the text back; you've held the community hostage
long enough.

I don't think it makes any sense to wait any longer because there is
sustained support from a significant majority of the community to get
rid of the warning and my faith in your and RMS' ability to negotiate a
conclusion that I can personally agree with is running out.
