I don't mind one way or the other, but with the number of people 
working actively on the code at the moment, I think reverting broken 
patches that don't have trivial test fixes is the way to go. The 
buildbot system is useless, otherwise.

And yes, I'm working on the existing broken buildslaves trying to fix 
them. For instance - on ia64, sqlite is failing because of a bug in 
gcc - compiled with -O2 or higher, sqlite itself is broken. Yay!
