So first, no one here is trying to be disrespectful, we're all here to make the 
compiler and surrounding tools better for everyone. That said, it's also 
normally respectful to revert changes when others report that your patch has a 
serious regression.  
https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#patch-reversion-policy

I'm not sure how common this is, but in this case we found a test case that was 
missing from the unit tests, otherwise the patches that were reverted would 
never have landed. So, while I understand your point, reverting here is in line 
w/ the communities policies. If there is a different interpretation I should 
have on the policy, I'm happy to hear it, but as I read it, our response here 
is in line w/ our typical developer expectations. My apologies if any of this 
comes off as rude (being nuanced in text is hard) but I'm trying to be very 
clear about my interpretation and rationale.

As a last point we've had our CI broken by this since the initial patch landed, 
and it's been several days since we first reported the issue. We're certainly 
not trying to be discourteous w/ our actions, but it I also don't think it's 
reasonable to expect that when community members report a serious regression, 
file an issue, and provide a reproducer that they be expected to wait days for 
a revert or forward fix.
