No, I think this was a total failure. We should have reverted it
immediately rather than waiting for the fix. Especially as the damn thing
wasn't even all that important.
I now (finally) have the patch from Andrew, but we should _not_ have had
this thing broken for three days. It should have gotten reverted on the
first report of trouble, instead of us telling people to just wait.
Broken compiles are simply not acceptable. Patches that cause them should
be reverted _immediately_ unless a fix is available as quickly (which it
wasn't due to turkey-day).
No excuses. People _should_ be impatient about idiotic failures like this.
