If, hypothetically, it might hold up the release for two weeks while
such issues are sorted out, might it be better to revert and say the
patch missed the release because it wasn't workable enough at the end
of the last CF to allow a beta release to be generated? If the net
result was that a feature or two were delayed until the next release,
but all developers had two more weeks of development time in the next
release cycle, it seems like reverting would be a net gain.
