Not compiling is not a problem. If it is _really_ broken (and not
pilot error), just wait for it to get fixed and try again. You still
have your old system purring along just fine.

What SUCKS is when you manage to get through a make-world without an
error, but the running system is broken. /That/ is something to whine
about. (And you just want to slug that first one that says, "Just use
the backups you made before the make-world." I do backup first, but
restoring is still a non-trivial pain in the *ss. And if you didn't
backup, especially a production system, you asked for it, bub.)
