If someone rolls back good edits to a "sighted" version, and this new version
(with the same text as the last "sighted" version) is also marked "sighted"
automatically, then stable version is considered "up to date" and does not show
up as having anything to review (e.g. Special:PendingChanges). People may or
*may not* want this behavior for users just because they have rollback.

There are probably additional reasons people might not want rollback and and
reviewing rights to be mixed in a hard coded way; such things have a nasty
habit of revealing themselves after code is already in use for a while.
