If by 'revert' you mean 'remove  all the crap you installed' sure, that's 
very doable and I can start working on it pronto.

if by 'revert' you mean 'downgrade  anything I upgraded and put back all 
the settings that changed' then no, it's not very doable short of just 
telling the user to run an lvm snapshot and revert it from there.
