You're right.

Almost certainly nil. But if not, we'll find out soon enough.

It's now pretty abundantly clear that no amount of discussion will
ever bring sense to this issue. (It's more or less fundamentally
nonsensical.)
I'm a little confused as to why it's being
allowed to continue.
Because it simply doesn't matter.
Don't get me wrong; I agree that it was (and is) a significantly
bad idea. But again: it really doesn't matter one way or the
other. At this point, it will only cause us problems if we
insist on it, either by beating the dead horse of the discussion,
or by erecting ever-higher levels of bureaucracy to "manage"
the handing out and removing of the precious rollback bit.
(Sadly, of course, neither of these two outcomes is unlikely.)
