Ya, I was also sick -- bad timing.

IMO it's fine to just take this as a fix.  Reverting stuff is always a 
nice big hammer to have if we don't get a fix in a reasonable timeframe, 
but with a fix avaliable in the time I was out sick anyway I think it's 
fine to just take this.

So I've got it queued up on fixes.
