This is fair comment: 3RR is diagnostic of disruption, but far from
being the only such diagnostic. On the other hand, not everybody has
your level of confidence in their own judgment, so 3RR is a worthwhile
policy as giving a good indication that blocking a given dick will not
be viewed as contentious.

It does seem like a fair comment. The 3RR page still needs attention. It
has become a sole article to edit to attempt to update the needs the
surrond the issues related to 3RR. I must implore to this audience that
the page needs to be kept very simple. It appears there needs to be a
page for vandal related reversions, as part of the policy against
vandalism has crept on anybody that just reverts even with the best of
good-faith edits. The page is just complex in its attempts to handle
multiple situations. In the process to keep it simple, lets split the
page into vandal related reverts and another to handle non-vandal
related reverts. It's a step.
