It was not backed out.  It may have been disabled for a couple of days.

The UI was left live while we waited for the LOSAs to process their
RT's.  See my email "Source package recipe build deployment status"
dated 05/20/2010.

Eventually, as the release approached, we disabled it so that it would
not appear in the production UI when the release was rolled out ("Re:
Source package recipe build deployment status" 05/31/2010)  We restored
it on edge as soon as was possible.

My perspective is that it has been live for weeks, with a few interruptions.

What happened?  Paul's changes to remove sourcepackagename were deployed
as part of the release, but had no immediate impact because the UI was
disabled.  Then I restored the UI, which was deployed through an edge
update, though I had an RC from Curtis.
