I tend to think he is right.  What do you think?

If I visit a DOS-format file in Emacs on a Unix box, Emacs helpfully
tells me the coding system is DOS in the modeline.  If I use dos2unix
in a shell to convert it and M-x revert-buffer in Emacs, Emacs still
tells me the coding system is DOS.

Shouldn't it revert the coding system as appropriate too?
