I know. I decided to whine this time and not try to fix it because
attempting to fix every fallout I'm seeing in the tree with randconfigs
is a full-time job and the *actual* job doesn't see any progress.

And in all fairness, if someone were reporting an issue against my code,
I'll try to do my very best to fix it as quickly aas possible, instead
of ignoring it.

So actually, the right thing to do in such cases is back out half-cooked
stuff from the tree until it gets fixed. That'll give the authors the
right incentive. But this is just me.

Yeah, if everyone would put their money where their mouth is...
