It was listed as blocking in the "blocks integration" sense, and never
downgraded.

Dropped to critical

It is impossible to recover the workspace in question.  Changes can be
recovered in the cases we have seen via either cdm backups, or exporting
the changeset(s) you may want (in the case Bart had, Stephen fixed it, 
I believe via the second method, as many things would still function).

I have restored his workspaces via cdm's backups with success.

Of course, any work not in the backup may be toast (depending on how badly
things go wrong, there's a testcase in the upstream bug that breaks things
in the same manner but with worse results).

I'm not convinced the manifest could be rebuilt, even if someone were to wish
to go to the effort to try.  You must restore the contents, the workspace
itself is toast.
