I'm having a hard time figuring out what that value would be. How
would that knowledge affect what's needed to fix the patch?
I was thinking that knowing it did work at one time would be
useful, but
maybe that's not the case...
"Has it ever worked" is the singularly most fundamental technical
support
question; yes, it has value.
You'd be able to see whether or not it ever worked by when the patch
first hit the patch farm.
One question here - rhetorical, perhaps - is; What changed and when?
This is recorded in the current build farm.
