Guilty as charged.

Rebuild kernel+world is not exactly a quick solution.

And god only knows how much will break once I've done that.  How many other
people have tested -all- of the resulting binaries, seriously, on actual
production systems?  (I may be the first one ever, at least for 12.0.)

But this is all besides the point anyway.  I am now resigned to my fate,
and I am already up to the fifth stage of grief with respect to this issue.
