Thanks for confirming.  There is little time for doing the revert, and
it would have been nice seeing comments from Peter.  Anyway, I should
be able to do that myself in 24 hours or so after coming back in
front of my desk so as the buildfarm can have a couple of cycles for
its work.  If you prefer doing that yourself, that's of course fine by
me.

Possible.  My recommendation is to keep this as potential v13 work and
focus on v12 stability.  I have no doubt that after beta1 emerges we
will get enough reports to work on.
