Make some changes, without saving. `C-x C-v RET', to re-visit foo, effectively reverting it. You are asked "Buffer foo is modified; save it first (yes or no)". (There is no question mark here, BTW.) You reply "no". Then you are asked "Kill and replace the buffer without saving it? (yes or no)". (This time there is a question mark, as there should be.) You ponder a minute, then reply "yes". This is a common use case when a user wants to abandon edits by using `C-x C-v'. Note that `revert-buffer' will not revert everything that `C-x C-v' reverts. Overlays etc. remain, so it can sometimes be useful to use `C-x C-v' here. Here's the problem: You changed the first message, flipping its sense, so now, if a user wants to discard the changes s?he has to first say "no", s?he does not want to save the changes, and then s?he has to say "yes", s?he really wants to replace the buffer. This inconsistency is confusing and thus error-prone. While your change was no doubt motivated by wanting to avoid user errors, it actually promotes them, at least in this scenario. Furthermore, why are you asking the second question, if the reply to the first is "no"? If the user does not want to save the changes, then why ask again, especially with a reversed sense for the question?

It was much better before (but there was room for improvement). Now I'm afraid that users will *lose data*. It is just too easy to answer "yes" to the first question, thinking that it is asking you to confirm the action that you, after all, asked for (which includes abandoning any changes to the currently visited file). `find-alternate-file' is not simply choosing to visit another buffer or file. It is specifically an abandonment of the current state of the currently visited file. Especially for the common use case of using it to revert to the saved state of the same file (and unmodified in any other way, including display - overlays etc.). At least for that case, the new interaction is a disaster. Imagine asking someone whether s?he wants to *save* the current file when s?he invokes `revert-buffer'! Naturally, we ask exactly the opposite: are you sure you want to abandon your changes? We should ask a question (one, not two!) here, but the question should be phrased in terms of confirming ("yes") that you want to abandon any modifications. It should not be phrased negatively, asking whether you want to do something different from what the command intends, i.e., save your changes. This change made to the user interaction no doubt reflects good intentions, but it was misguided, IMHO.
