No revdeps, I take it?
(Especially with such obvious revdep connotation naming that's commonly
put in the masking notice itself if so, with the revdeps masked as well
if not, so the mention or mask of revdeps as well is obvious by omission
here.)

Correct.

I do try not to mask things that have revdeps; QA gets angry at me
when I miss them.
I do not find it useful to state the obvious in the mask message.
