I had a look into the history on the CommitFest page. It looks like
Alvaro unintentionally clobbered the previous five edits, which went
back about four hours. I've restored those changes now, but it is
definitely worrying that such a drastic regression could occur.

The only way I can conceive of this happening is that Alvaro was
making his edits on a *very* old copy of the edit page.

Cheers,
BJ
