The current policy is still one putback per bugid. There have been
other really good reasons to allow more than one (pre-built JCE
binaries), but so far no change in the policy. I still do wish it were
changed, as filing a separate bug just to do a JCE build is wasted work,
IMHO.

We think about hijacking that bug. ;) We also considered a new
bug/changeset combo that said "1234567: changeset ffffffffffff should
list bug aaaaaaaaaaaa". Since only a well defined and relatively small
set of people are pulling the JSN gate, and those people were warned 10
minutes after it happened, we thought a rollback was best. If it
happened in the MASTER, we probably would have gone the other way.

Aha! The 7 and 4 got swapped. Thanks. And the jcheck scripts would then
have prevented that bug to ever get fixed again. Although I guess you
could reuse the swapped bug number for that one then :)
It might be an idea to add some kind of override possibility to the
commit message to say "yes, I know this bug number has been used before,
but this commit is the real fix". Maybe just add a + to the bug number
to reuse one?
Cheers,
