Agreed.  I little bit of extra work now to make it reproducible  later is
pretty much always worth it for infrastructure that runs a mission critical
service (and landing tested code easily is pretty mission critical for a
software development team).

I understand why it was done the way it was. But now that we've had fairly
expensive (in terms of time consumed) failure it sure seems like it's worth
the cost of a fork to prevent future problems.
