Yes, that is exactly what I was suggesting, no?

On the similar line of thought, it might be a good idea to update the
commit template we give slightly perhaps like...

     Revert "some commit"

     This partially reverts commit <sha1>.
    +#
    +# DESCRBE HERE how the change in <sha1>
    +# was a wrong thing to do.
