With due respect to Assar, this is the kind of breakage that just
cannot happen in a -Stable branch. You could almost get away with this
in 4.0 right now, but once 4.1-RELEASE goes out the door we will be
severely damaging our claims of stability and production-readiness with
these kinds of mistakes.
The argument that the commit was necessary for security implies that
_greater_ care be taken to insure that the changes work. No angry words
or recriminations are needed, just more caution in the future.
