Ok, it is reverted in my tree now (and doing a build before pushing it
out). However, that original commit was also marked for stable, so we
need to kill it there.
Greg, is there some protocol to kill stable entries? I did *not* mark
the revert for stable, because I'm hoping the original never made it
into the queue anyway (it was committed last Friday), but I don't know
of any way to notify stable except this kind of "hey guys, do not
apply that particular patch".
