171659 is not holding back testing. I've spoken with both bdale and aj to let them know that I'm working with upstream on fixing this.
The m68k bug (175526) is a far greater threat since, last I checked, none of us knew the cause of it. That said - upstream hasn't started the sunrpc reimplementation yet, so if you (or others reading this list) want to help, please let me know. I'm a bit swamped with school right now to start a big project like that. Otherwise it's on my list of things to hack on in March.
