What does 'Requires Revert' mean?

The strict definition of 'Requires Revert? Yes' is that the template has been changed in a way that would mean that by keeping an old version of the template, functionality would be lost.

For example, if we add a new feature then that feature may need certain elements of certain templates may need to be altered. Keeping an old customized version would mean that the new feature would not work.

In terms of what you need to do, there's a simple checklist:

If you have not customized the template, you need not do anything. The old template will be automatically replaced with the new version during the upgrade process.
If you have customized the template, you will need to do one of the following things:
The easiest thing to do is to revert the template. This means that your customized version will be deleted and the new master template will automatically take its place.
Alternatively, you can use the template compare system to look at what is new in the template and apply the changes to your customized template. This requires careful attention.
