Nota bene: It's good etiquette to reference and/or quote the original discussion that prompted the reversion of a pull-request. For example:

From #106: …many of these changes [are] unnecessary/redundant, or introduce potential reader communication issues because the changes are based on a flawed premise, or are just a different way of doing the same thing. Some of them do not actually fix the underlying document flaw, but do add more typing to implement the same flaw.

There is a lot in the document that needs some attention […] However, the document was written primarily by Ossanna, Kernighan, and Ritter, and (since it is still sometimes called "Heirloom" troff) I think their authoring is worth preserving unless there is an actual error or some other necessary change
