I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here. My guess is that
you're arguing that we should have been willing to take REPACK
CONCURRENTLY even if we'd known from the beginning that the
one-at-a-time-per-cluster restriction would have been necessary. I
would have argued against that, but perhaps I would have been wrong to
do so, and it's certainly fair if you feel otherwise.

My sincere intention was to start a conversation, not jump straight to
a conclusion. If you were already half-convinced that you should be
thinking about reverting and this pushed you over the line, I suppose
that's fair enough. Otherwise, I think some discussion would be a good
idea.
