@kernellogger I don't quite follow. They're opposed to reverting a new feature or some other sort of change?
I can understand not wanting to revert the addition of a feature that landed a release ago.
What you do here totally depends on the regression and it's cause & without that context it's hard to agree/disagree.

@kernellogger No? There's refactoring/cleanup, moving to a different API or switching from some arch-specific implementation to one that is generic.
Those are "safe" to revert in comparison as there may not be someone that has gained a dependency on that feature that reverting it in a previous release would break.
