Exactly.  That's why the initial commit was a grave mistake.
No. The intial commit got approvals from no less than 4 developers, had 10 emails in that thread, was committed after about 48 hours of the patch being submitted and then saw an opposing email the next day. That's not really 'very quickly'.
The revert patch was basically a unilateral decision given that there was no consensus on it. It's not wrong given that Alex is an FSF steward and is probably within his right to do that but it is in bad faith given the sustained objections to the patch.
