Likewise, the abbreviated 10/15 minute Click episodes which air through the
week as handy filler.
Some repeated eps of cop shows need to have faces blurred for legal reasons
since first airing etc.
The term's misleading - it means the act of reverting to a prior state, but
nuw-meedyah luvvies got their talons into it and repurposed it as is their
wont.
(between that, and advertising agencies describing all their work as pieces
of 'creative'...!)
Also IIRC, sign zone versions are 'reversions' and have their own PIDs hung
off the episode's family tree.

A really good, simple example of a basic 'reversion' would be these
programmes with values in, like Flog It and house buying programmes.
The reversions have messages pop up saying "as valued in May 2013" or
similar all over them. Likewise you get dub changes on reversions if
the first broadcast refers to something coming up in the future, the
reversion will state the date plainly, not without reference to
whether it is in the near future or past.
