A revocation certificate is uploaded to a keyserver.
The key (+subkeys as it may apply) is/are revoked.

Everywhere I could read about keyservers, a user can add information or
components (?) to his/her key, but cannot remove anything from the server.

Does this apply also to a revocation certificate?

Is it possible to remove the revocation from a revoked key that is
already in the keyservers?

If it is possible, I don't want to know about it, and I really don't
want anybody to hold my hand through the process, if there is such a
process.
