Yup, I think that makes the most sense (especially in this "first step").
Relaxing the revert rules to cover only patches which are really dependent
on each other (and we'd have to be careful about defining the meaning
this, especially with repsect to various consistency models coming in the
future) is something tha can always be done later on top.
