Amen to that. :-)

I'd even go further. If there are multiple commits that are rolled back
because we don't know which one broke things, then once we find out
who it broke it, they should have to re-apply the patches for those
other innocent bystanders.

But then can we trust a serial build breaker to reapply somebody
else's patches correctly? ;-)
