Argh. 🥴
I (and @torvalds iirc as well) tell everybody "a revert to fix a #LinuxKernel #regression is nothing bad, it's often done to provide more time to fix the problem; once you did so, just resubmit the change."
And now I just found this in the #Linux #Kernel's documentation[1]:
'"[…] having a patch pulled as the result of a failure to fix a regression could well make it harder for you to get work merged in the future. […]"'
