Personally, I'd like to figure out what needs to be fixed with Rev, but... What is the problem? People have discussed this, but what makes a Rev round not fun? I agree with Frank's suggestion to analyze the core mechanics of Rev.
In analyzing these symptoms, it may be possible to find whether or not the issue is inherent in the fundamental concept of the Rev game mode, or if these issues are a result of the execution of the concept.
If it's an issue with the concept, then scrapping Rev shouldn't be a problem.
However, I did have an interesting (but unrelated idea). Perhaps there could be two Revolutionary groups in competition with one another? Make it so that it can't turn out to be the Entire Crew versus the Heads and Security, but rather Half the Crew versus the Other Half versus the Heads and Security. A three-way conflict, dividing the crew. However, dealing with one of the Revolutions is a double-edged sword for the Loyalists - sure, they've dealt with a bunch of the Revs, but now the other Revolution can focus their efforts against the Loyalists.
Also, territory control doesn't seem like a terrible idea to me if this were the case. Maybe the Rev Heads and the NT Heads could raise flags in key areas? Flagpoles would be present in various areas and you could burn flags to get rid of them.
But this is just spitballing and kind of my stream-of-consciousness as I think about this issue, so, perhaps reconsider this specific idea after analysis of the game mode's mechanics.
