I don't think that assigning a judge to a CFI counts as revising it; 
the plaintiff's analysis and the judge's analysis aren't required to be 
there and as far as I can tell can't actually be added after the fact; 
the defendant's analysis isn't mentioned in the rules at all, and is 
kept around simply as a service to players who don't want to dig 
through list archives; and the judgments don't actually revise the CFI 
at all.

The only reason CFIs once were 'revisable objects' is because Dave kept 
all documents in one big table, so it was easier to have everything be 
revisable. But we did away with that a while ago, specifically so that 
the Minister of Justice wouldn't have to wait for the administrator to 
assign numbers to CFIs.

In fact, now that I check the old revisions of rule 126, CFI's weren't 
revisable objects in most versions of the rules. First it read " A Call 
for Judgement, once made, cannot be modified, but CFJs shall be given 
unique identification numbers in the same way as such numbers are 
assigned to revisable objects."

Then later just "Calls for Judgement are given a serial number as if 
they were a revisable object."

Finally in nweek 27 (until nweek 68) the rule was changed to say "CFIs 
are revisable objects, but may only be modified as explictly permitted 
by the rules. "

It no longer has this statement in it, so they're no longer revisable; 
now they're just "Game Document"s.
