I don't understand, the developers regularly enable new features with seeking (uneeded) consensus. For example, when they enabled cascading protection we gradually worked out the rules and methodology for it. We're doing the same thing with rollback with just a whole lot more fanfare and idiots involved.

Funny you should say that, since there was no consensus to switch it ON and that smooth move has turned into the disaster we have now. You've already argued a hundred times in other places that despite the lack of consensus to do it, undoing it requires a new consensus. I'm not claiming consensus in either direction, I'm claiming common sense. Since its an epic disaster, it should be put on hold until the issues around it can be resolved.

Yep. If this had been added just like undo/cascading protection, there'd have been a lot less complaining and moaning. We'd have just got on with it like sensible people.
