Like everything else in life, it's a balance. If something is clearly
half-baked and requires a bunch of post-rc1 changes just to be usable, a
revert might make a lot of sense.

It's questions of: how much further change is required, how invasive are
those changes, how half-baked and incomplete is the feature really, what
is the downside of a revert, ...
