Forget 3RR. It's mechanical and therefore (nearly) senseless. Let's start using our judgment. We are all smart enough to do that.
It's the senseless aspect of it which makes it good. Nobody has to guess what good judgment it -- it should be a mechanical way of preventing endless revert wars. It forces people to do what they want to do and then go take a break somewhere else, come back tomorrow if need be. The mechanical aspect of it isn't accidental.
3RR is good, and should be more strictly applied. A 3-2-1-0 rule would be even better, though harder to police: 3 on day1, 2 next, then 1, then a day with none at all before you get back to 3 again. I say this as an experienced reverter :-)
