It's intentional not to revert the change, it's significant because it
involve a number of significant packages like icu, vim and boost, some
of them already marked stable (from a fast grep from the one mentioned
in the previous posts).

revert - fix the ebuilds - re-apply could work too, or since you're an
old and respected developer fix them yourself, the change is easy and
probably mantainers will understand.
