> A revert is not the same thing as making the commit never exist. Often they do not apply cleanly and it's very hard for a reviewer to know whether the author of the revert had to apply logic to resolve conflicts.

It would be useful if revert commits looked like (or simply were) merges. I sometimes do it by hand, but that's awkward.
