Comment (by costdev):

 Thanks for opening this ticket @kebbet!

 Following my review on the PR, I thought it was probably a good idea that
 I dropped a comment on the ticket for posterity 😆

 I agree that "Rolled back", "rollback" and "rolling back" and, to an
 extent, "revert", isn't very accessible language to most non-technical
 users.

 "Restore", "Return to", "Reinstall", "Reverse", "Undo", and such, are much
 more common words to describe the same process.

 It's likely that the appropriate language is contextual rather than a one-
 size-fits-all solution.
