REV waivers are fine. And just because a player is waived, even if IRR, doesn't mean the team would release the player. A better way would be to make waivers IRR unless noted that the player is REV. REV waivers serve a purpose. Maybe you feel teams are bluffing for trade interest, maybe you only want to move one of two players, but not both, or possibly want to make sure a division rival does not get the player for free. And then there's the obvious August waiver trading.
The purposes are there. From reading current the rules all players are assumed REV and that shouldn't be the case. If you want them REV they should be labeled as such or they're assumed to be IRR. It's a team's right to be able to pull a player back, but I definitely do agree that potential claiming teams should know whether the player is REV or IRR.
