Fair enough. My only point (to the extent that I had the facts right)
was that Curt seemed to me to be saying that his favored solution to the
problem with the light pole placement was rolling back the recent
scenery commits; that didn't seem like a solution to me at the time,
since it seemed like it only replaced one problem (the light poles
being in the wrong places) with the previous problem (the inconsistency
of the Robin Peel files with the scenery).
