ZOMG drama indeed.... but as to the substance of this proposal, I
thought that particular perennial proposal more or less went away when
the "undo" button was instituted on diffs? Hmm, apparently not.

As far as I can tell, the differences between rollback and undo are
that a) rollback shows up in the page history and user contribution
histories as well as diffs; b)  rollback doesn't require you to hit
"save" a second time; c) rollback is easier to make mistakes with
because you can undo more than one diff at a time (i.e. everything by
an author). Am I missing anything?
