While that's true, I'd still like it to be decreed as a rule.  If we sit 
around for another vote, nothing will ever get done.

Either that, or people need to stop whining to the arbitration committee 
about people who revert a lot.  Either come up with guidelines to fix 
the problem, or allow reverts to continue.  We can't simply ban people 
who revert a lot who we don't like, and allow reverts in general to go 
unpunished.  I, for one, will be voting against any bans for "excessive 
reverting" on the arbitration committee, as I do not feel this is a 
problem to be solved on a case-by-case basis.
