I'm afraid that the problem is it doesn't work well after revert the patch,
either, as the patch says:

Currently the overrides are being applied backwards. This means something
which is platform specific is overriding something which is machine specific
which is clearly not intended.

I don't know how many layers are affected, I've tested the current dora branch
in the local autobuilder, didin't find any errors.
