That's my recollection also.

It was about a particular mode, not about a
global key for reverting buffers in general.
That's the problem: the discussion of a narrow
feature request and possible solutions turned
into a wider discussion. _And_ someone there
decided to change Emacs to add a global key
for reverting buffers.
That a bug/enhancement discussion can range
wider is not unusual or bad. But when it
comes to making wide-ranging changes to Emacs
it's maybe time to move that wider discussion
to emacs-devel. That's the point (IMO).

100% agreement. It's not too late to discuss
this, and to remove that new key binding.
IMO, the binding should be removed until/unless
the discussion here leads to a decision to add
it back again.
