I disagree with that. You seem to think that patches falls into either
good or bad. However the reality is more complex and there are levels
of goodness and badness. I use r- for patches that I really think are
not in the right direction or shouldn't be landed: it is a statement
in this direction. Clearing the flag is for patches that are close
enough but still not up to our standards and that I want to kick off
the review queue.

This is my reasoning on that and other people likely have different
views. However I don't think it's unreasonable to clear the flag
instead of r-'ing in some contexts.
