Why rant and capitals?
Have I broken somebody's box with my update?
Probably only cast of coreutils with smack patch enabled fails and
coreutils havn't been updated so you updated coreutils patch.
Where is the problem?
How many users use this patch (it is off by default)? Where is this
patch from? Seems it isn't come from upstream.
Did developers discuss this patch? Can I read this discussion?

Shoud we all really test all possibility of all spells? Sorry I have not
thousands of free boxes.

I really do not like this kind of rant.
With this approach we only discourage developers from updating spells.
It is very easy to update nothing and wait for who "break" something.
It is easy to reverse somebody commits or put them to special branch of
grimoire which nobody really test.
BTW, it is test grimoire.
