If I can have the luxury of cutting out the bits I agree with...

[13:29:33] <Jarry1250>     Hey all. At an editathon, so can't track down very
well (may have already been reported)
[13:29:39] <Jarry1250>     but in IE I'm getting an exception in
http://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.21wmf2/extensions/EventLogging/modules/ext.EventLogging.js
[13:32:33] <Jarry1250>     Line 115 [...] by my reckoning

I ping you Ori, I ping S Page (you're both still asleep I'm guessing). Then
Chris comes along, we have a chat, he files this bug, then thedj pings Reedy,
but he's AFK. Then there's a gap in the logs - perhaps discussion continued in
#mediawiki or whatever. ServerAdminLog thinks ^demon rolled back at 16:49. It
would have been nice to have a rollback in under three hours, I think, and
that's assuming I was the first one to report this.

Sure, mistakes happen, not a problem. But I'm inclined to think the process
could have worked slightly better in some way-I'm not sure what though. Do we
have enough staff for 24 hour rollback coverage? Or do we enforce (and make
easier to trigger) more pre-deployment tests? Either? Both?
