+BIP 66's hard fork was not due to the soft fork making transactions
+invalid. Rather it was because miners were not properly validating
+blocks before building on top of them. That fork was because a
+non-upgraded miner created a block invalid under the new rules and

+invalid block was only invalid because the isSuperMajority mechanism
+specified that the new version number must be used otherwise the block
+was invalid, and that was what happened: the invalid block had the old
+version number. This is not an issue for BIP 9 Versionbits soft forks

+
+Like with all soft forks, the only way to revert them is by a hard fork.
+Soft forks make previously valid things invalid, hard forks make

+made something invalid, you need to hard fork to make it valid again.

+No. This is incorrect. There is no requirement to include the witness

+witnesses. Because transactions that contain witnesses are considered
+non-standard transactions by the old rules, if a miner who did not
+upgrade continues to follow those standardness rules, their blocks will

+Not necessarily, it depends on the change. Most changes (such as
+sighashing, new opcodes, different scripts, etc.) can be done via
+another soft fork because segwit introduces script versioning. A new
+script version would be created with the necessary changes and that can

+Segwit already is optional. If you don't want to use segwit, you don't
+have to. If you don't want to mine segwit blocks, you don't have to.
+
+As for removing all previously soft forked things, then you would be
+removing a ton of functionality, various fixes, and potentially break a
+large number of transactions that already exists but are not confirmed
+yet. This would require a hard fork.
+
+As for what is would be reverted, you would be reverting P2SH (multisig
+addresses, you still want those right?), OP_CLTV, OP_CSV, block height
+requirement in Coinbase, the value overflow incident, removal of
+dangerous opcodes, reduction of block size limit, etc. As you can see, a
+lot of functionality and various bug fixes would be lost be reverting
+every single soft fork.
