That is definitely a good stop-gap solution until we figure out a fix to
the underlying issue.

I haven't seen any objection to this suggestion either on the bug, on

comfortable with that for now.

My apologies for misrepresenting it. That makes sense.

I updated the wikitech page I started with a clarification (do let me

How can we prevent this issue from happening in the future without
having old versions laying around?
