Speaking on my own behalf (not constituting a TC opinion), I think that
in this specific case, a revert is not needed as the code is already marked
experimental, and other people have cleaned it up since its initial state.

Reverting all that would at this point be more trouble than it's worth. I'll
withhold my opinion on AI contributions in general for the time being.
