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.
