By my count, two-thirds of the buildfarm is broken. (100 failing
animals, 56 working ones have reported since this commit.)

We would not normally tolerate leaving things that way for any
great length of time, and I don't think this commit should get
a pass. I think it needs to be reverted until a very much
larger fraction of buildfarm owners have prepared for it.
