Comment (by afragen):

 From the description.

 > The current functionality for core rollbacks relies on the availability
 of a "rollback" package being returned by the Updates API. It is unclear
 (to me, at this time) whether extending this functionality to
 plugins/themes will require changes to the API or not.

 Obtaining the currently installed version package from dot org is possible
 but attempting to reinstall it in the same manner as the failure doesn't
 seem like the practical way forward.

 This approach also has the issue of not working with any plugin/theme not
 hosted on dot org. I think this is a hard block.
