What I'm saying is... an operation that starts out as a directed revoke will
turn into a revoke on the entire subtree if the PD cap goes away while the
revoke operation is preempted. Simply because at the time the revoke is
restarted, the limitation "only this single PD" can no longer be applied.

Cheers,
Udo
