It is very very unfortunate and in general we would want to do what
you say, but from what I heard the demo rush made us come out of the
weekend in a state that had accumulated multiple regressions from
multiple directions and the changes done over the weekend are not only
on software, but also infrastructure and hence a very very hard to
reset/backout (only to then find that there are other regressions as
well).

One big thing that I already see as a failure was what we didn't
mobilize the full landing team, CI engineering and QA support for the
rush weekend, which caused landers to operate the landings in a bit of
blind mode with not enough support to adhere to our proven best
practices.

Anyway, what we surely will do is doing a post-mortem once we have all
the data later this week. Also, if we can't get this under control
soonish we will have to consider bandaid actions to ensure that we can
resume landings asap again.

Until then, please help if you feel there are things that you can do
to debug/fix.
