Sure, but reverting code is something that is highly visible and I can't picture an engineer reverting usable code and other engineers/leads not question it.

I'm willing to bet that it was reverted for other reasons.

I reverted code from master before because the guy wanted to play the 'okay but' game when we noticed issues with it.

Sorry but we can chat about issues later, it's not staying in production to be pushed out by a random engineer. Nothing to do with your race, gender, age, etc.
