In a case like this the sheriff has to either do speculative rollouts or leave the tree broken. Ideally, of course, change authors are around when something like this happens. But maybe the bustage doesn't happen until much later, due to some subtle/latent issue, or maybe the change author is in fact irresponsible. PK
