I think I disagree. It's easier to fix it now than it was to fix it back then. Fixing it back then would have meant to constantly observe the buildbots, and keep them running, so it would be a huge effort to maintain the infrastructure just to find a the few changes that unintentially broke something. Looking at them now is a lot of effort, also. But this effort is feasible, once the root cause is identified, the patch causing it might just get backed out. Maintaining the community buildbots has proven infeasible. It's unfortunate that many package authors don't understand that not all breakage is deliberate, and that their only chance to get undesired breakage reverted is to report bugs NOW.
