It is not a rule, but I think it is best that sysops should not use power they have in disagreement with other users who do not have that power. Yes, both can do revert, but using the rollback feature is perceived as a "power".
The problem with rollback is the dismissiveness of it, for one thing -- it's fundamentally treating an addition 'as vandalism' - not even worth a comment as to why it's removed.
Yes, this is *exactly* it. You have the exact word. Once, I did a roll back with someone (not a sysop) for an addition I perceived wrong. The person pointed out to me how dismissed he felt. Since then, I have decided not to use this again, except for extrem cases of vandalism.
