Just the latent case. Patches that are buggy in themselves should
definitely be fixed in a timely manner or backed out. I agree the
latent-bug case is quite rarer than the broken-patch case, and I
regretted, in part, having made so much noise about it. It just so
happens that I had lived this very situation before, when I pushed for
the 64-bit CONST_INT patches, and it turned out that the fact that I
couldn't get my patch installed prevented myself from making progress
for a while.
