Hi Jim,

Dropping the lists here to get some more specifics.

The fix we put in place took about ten days to hit. It shouldn't have been 
broken longer than that; we didn't close the bug immediately, because we wanted 
the dependency to fix their versioning. 

It's possible the workaround didn't actually correct the problem fully; it 
should have, but I only tested it briefly. (It was simply adding in a 
downstream dependency with a versioning restriction).

Do you happen to remember when the problem was? I'd like to make sure I 
understand, since I agree completely; a fix taking weeks is not acceptable, and 
I am upset and embarrassed to learn one of my packages took that long.
