Exactly.

This rule has served us admirably so far and one that is really  
simple to grasp: Don't want to be blocked, don't revert more than  
three times in 24 hrs; and if you do, you will enjoy a forced  
wikibreak, with a chance for you to assess if it is worth doing it  
again. Sweet and simple. I do not see the need to change it...
