done. I take it there were no relevant failures with "Command line
option --allow-downgrades is not understood'" which we didnt reschedule?

/me grins at 

-            # FIXME: too many failures
-            # panic()
+            # don't panic(), too many problems on old distros

nice! though I wish we could increase the delay… retest after a day,

In all: very nice work, "as usual", merged + deploying now…
