Volker,

A number of developers (including myself) asked that you not push the
reverts.  

I hope I was clear, but if not I would again ask that you stop the
autobuild, and let those who asked for time spend the time they
offered.  

Your repeated pattern of rushed reverts is not helpful to the Samba
project.

Sorry,

Andrew Bartlett
