I hear people are still being hit by libxcb 1.2 renames shared objects
and loses the library archive breaking many packages[0] and Migration
of libblkid.so from e2fsprogs to util-linux breaks mount/boot[1], and
this in *stable*!

I have tested both on several real boxes and a few VMs and was unable
to reproduce them before they finally went to stable. Can anyone whom
is able to reproduce these *please* help fix these bugs? Perhaps they
only occur if installed from a specific ISO or updated from a specific
grimoire version? I will try to build a few more VMs as time allows to
work on these, but my free time is fairly limited these days.

If nothing else, volunteers to help revert these in stable (if Arwed
approves and doesn't think it's too late) would be greatly appreciated.
As far as I am aware these are our two main complaints in IRC. If there
are other serious breakages, please post their bug numbers to the ML
and request additional help or information.

I would like to see these resolved in one week. In my opinion we may
want to implement commit freezes when disastrous bugs like these hit
the grimoire and are not being fixed (yes, I'm guilty of working on
other commits too ;)).
