You're right.
we don't know what ramifications of giving all these users this tool will be
Almost certainly nil. But if not, we'll find out soon enough.
until we've discussed everything fully, it doesn't make sense...
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.)
