Exactly. It's even easier, because you can just rebase and rewrite history
via `git push -f` at any time, which isn't recommended (or even forbidden)
on master.

On another note-- 0.46.3 with Ico's changes is *slow* on my slow laptop

I noticed those slowdowns as well. :( That's why I had to go back to rev.
4b7b73cd and nw.js 0.24.4 for now.

I fully agree with that. Ico's patchset looks very interesting and
promising, but it's obvious that it needs more work. So let's move it back
into a separate feature branch for now, where work can continue on it
without blocking everything and everyone else.

Jonathan, I assume that you want to keep linear history on master at all
costs, and thus prefer *not* to rebase the master branch? Then we'd have to
put everything to be rolled back in one big reversal commit, cherry-pick
the commits belonging to Ico's changeset to a new branch and create a merge
request for that new branch. Ico can then check out that branch and
continue work on it and push to the MR (where others like me can continue
to test it), while the master branch will be back in a known good state.

That's my basic plan, but let me figure out a process for that on a test
branch first, so that we don't wreak havoc on the master branch again. ;-)
I have to teach courses today, but I can hopefully set aside some time to
have a look at this later today.

Best,
Albert
