Nice work, Alan! Bisection is clearly useful regardless of the tool used to drive it!

Just to be explicit, it's not just (only!) 10 updates, it's (only!) 10 update/build/test iterations to identify the first "bad" revision within a range of 1024 revisions. The same bisection technique could be done manually, but it's very tedious (and "Murphy prone"! :-)).
