I guess we need one of two alternatives at this point: either somebody
documents how to recover from a pull by first reconstructing (or
binding from the dump) the critical commands or we are given some
indication by Bell Labs so that we can wait to do a pull until sources
is consistent and pulling becomes safe again.

Erik kindly offered a recovery procedure, but my impression is that it
compounds effort for only a temporary gain; waiting for Bell Labs, on
the other hand, has the drawback that custom kernels will not be taken
care of automatically.

I seem to remember that there was one header change offered (Erik,
again?) that would help with this last issue, would that allow safe
building of custom kernels without first pulling?
