Actually, I see point in both... I'd think you'd want to know if a

worked against the CVS checkout it was written against.
Regardless, it's unlikely that the patch was tested against all of
the platforms available on the build farm. If it fails on some of the
build|patch farm animals, or if it fails due to bitrot, the point is
it fails: whatever version the patch was generated against is pretty
much moot: the patch needs to be fixed.
Wouldn't there be some value to knowing whether the patch failed
due to
bitrot vs it just didn't work on some platforms out of the gate?
I'm having a hard time figuring out what that value would be. How
would that knowledge affect what's needed to fix the patch?
