Unfortunately, that highlights a much bigger problem with editing here. Wikipedia has lasted as long as they have and built their policies like that for a reason. "Mandatory" inflexible rules that are unbending no matter the context are not sustainable and don't nurture the creative environment that's needed to encourage editing. I mean, you guys can run yourselves however you like. But you can't have it both ways. If you force users to accept all or nothing with policy they're going to pick nothing pretty much nine out of ten times.

I also notice you didn't respond to my points about the revert summary. Shall I assume you agree with my sentiments and in the future will leave an explanation before undoing future edits? If so, I'm very appreciative of this.
