Hi David,

The biggest problem with RB Tools for our windows users is that it requires 
Python 2.7, and they are running Python 3 for other services. They've tried 
having both installed with no success. I think it would be a good decision 
to restore parent diff support to the New Review Request page. For our 
workflow, parent diffs are the norm, not a complex case. 

Thanks,

Sara
