I don't see a big issue around the partial revert but I do see an attitude problem. We are building a community every day and everyone, especially PMC members, are expected to be politically correct and give other participants space and respect. So, if you are planning to revert someone elses change and it's really urgent please take the time and write a polite message *before* reverting saying: "Hello Dave, I think this is a really bad idea, I will revert it for now and we can discuss this issue with legal@." These bullying in the lines of "I reverted it .. and I will do it again" is NOT acceptable. I hate to say this but our mentors warned us exactly about this type of situation[1]. Pedro.
