Sorry, I do not see a relevance of the above in this discussion, as
the situation does not improve if you phrase it as "Revert^2" or
"Second Revert".

Also as somebody else said in downthread, the phrasing "second
revert" would typically mean "a patch gets applied, proves to be
premature and gets reverted, the revert is reverted because the
situation in the rest of the system improved to make the orignal
patch viable, and then gets reverted again due to some other
issues", i.e. "Revert Revert Revert do something", so it is even
worse.
