> The dev does have the option of reverting their change.

Stopping the world seems like an automated process. So should reverting be. In fact, there should be no stopping the world at all, just reverting if the dev can't fix it within 72 hours. There might be cases where automatic reverting doesn't work, but those should still be managed through organizational processes, not by stopping the world.

I agree.

I'm an unusual American, in that I consider healthy work-life balance to be top priority, at least for everyday employees (founders and such have a different path).

I do try to make room for the idea that my understanding of this is likely superficial, and that there may be things that I am missing, here.
