What is the procedure for revert requests? How long before we can expect
the co-chairs to acknowledge the revert request?

a cutoff that seems controversial and likely to reduce rather than
increase consensus, the correct step is to let the Chairs know, ideally
via a post to the public list."

My input (without having vetted it yet with my co-chairs) is that I have
yet to see any technical justification for this revert request, so I
would not support it at this time. I do, however, see that the
TrackerRequest keyword has been added, and if raising an issue will
ultimately result in a Change Proposal that includes a technical
rationale, I would support the opening of an issue. Note that this step
doesn't need to wait for a chair action, any of the following may take
this step:

Finally, if there are comments on the process for changes made without
prior discussion on the working group, I encourage them to be recorded
in the Decision Policy bug on that topic:
