[Sugar-devel] Just wondering

Thanks for highlighting that patch, Jerry.

Yes, it looks like it would break olpc-os-builder, and would be a
hurdle for adopting any release of Sugar that includes the patch.

I'd like the patch reverted and rewritten, and tested without X or
DBus present.  That can be simulated by running it in a process with
none of the critical environment variables.

I didn't get any update from the bug system on ticket #4722, which is
a surprise.  I also didn't get any notification of a patch available
for review.
