Absolutely, yes.  But: My dumb brain was just used to seeing the
confirmation and had to pause for half a second when I did not see it,
thinking something was wrong.  My idea was simply that we could perhaps
show a message saying that the buffer was reverted, to not give other
users reason for pause.  WDYT?
