Why?

1. That's not what the blog post suggests would happen.

2. Remember that, often, more than one person uses the same LO installation
with the same username. This happens on family computers on which different
people don't bother to define users of their own, or on office computers where
the user is not really associated with anyone in particular.

3. See below

That would improve consistency; but...

3. Why not just allow treating "your" own changes just like the changes by
another person? What you're saying is that, right now, there is no desired
action intended for the case of "reinstate"ing your own changes, so much so
that you'd be willing to disable it. Well, we can choose such an action, and a
better choice of such action is doing the same thing "reinstate" would do to
changes by others.

I believe it is better to keep consistency of actions on changes irrespective
of authors, than to introduce it with this action. Even if the motivation for
the feature is tracked changes by others.
