My general feeling is that novice users don't often have a reason to 
call 'revert-buffer' manually (aside from major modes which already have 
a 'g' binding), and the power users generally already have some other 
command on 'C-x g' already (like magit-status or project-find-regexp).

So the target audience for that chance seems limited.
