Still, it would have meant that all 0.8 users would have immediatley
been told that something was wrong. I don't know to what extent it
was luck that this was dealt with as promptly and efficiently as it
was, but to the extent that luck was involved, a slew of 0.8 users
shouting in various places "wtf is going on" couldn't but help in
reducing the element of luck if something similar were to happen again.
