That one cuts both ways, doesn't it?  If your change that upstream
once thought was good (and got accepted) turned out to be bad and
they reverted, you do not want to blindly reapply it to break the
codebase again, and with the "drop duplicate" logic, it would lead
to a wrong answer silently.

So from correctness point of view, I do not think you can make any
argument either way.
