This ability is very useful in some cases - for example, imagine a
VisualEditor patch marked as "-2 Do not merge until Parsoid patch XXXX is
deployed"; after said deployment, it is normal for someone else to remove
the -2 review and approve the patch (imagine further that the original
reviewer is on vacation).

Note that only people with the right to give -2/+2 reviews can remove
others' reviews. The fact that the review was removed is recorded in a
comment, so the potential for abuse seems low.
