Fine, but that doesn't address why we needed the revert in the first
place.  Until we have some clear explanation of that and some criteria,
this will just happen all over again down the road.

So, what is revert-worthy in i-g-t?  Open review items?  Requests for
change?  False test failures?  False test passes?  Crashing tests?  I'd
vote for the latter 3 myself; did this fall into any of those
categories?

Thanks,
