To be clear: I don't want an additional prompt for confirmation, just a
short message in the minibuffer, like

[Undo: undoing `revert-buffer']

Because there are cases when the user (I) would want to stop at that
point.

I wonder why this prompt for confirmation was implemented.  I mean, you
seldom will type M-x revert-buffer RET by accident... If it's of no use
and everybody hates it, we should indeed consider to remove it, at least
for the interactive case.
