Unfortunately, admins seem increasingly willing to block without regard to warnings, a practiced that assumes bad faith.
I think admins are generally able to ascertain when a block is warranted and when it is not.
Exactly. This statement, as is so typical, assumes bad faith about admins, while decrying assumptions of bad faith.
Do we really need to add yet more policy to cover this?
No, and especially not bad policy. This idea would give any editor license to revert as many times as they wanted, until they were finally "officially warned" to stop reverting. Then they could come back 24 hours later, and again revert as many times as they wanted until they were "officially warned". It's a license for 4, 5, or more reverts on any article, as long as you're quick enough on the revert button, or your opponents aren't wise enough to post that formal warning before you get your reverts in.
