Let me chime in with agreement (2.5 only of course).

I don't mind one way or the other, but with the number of people working actively on the code at the moment, I think reverting broken patches that don't have trivial test fixes is the way to go. The buildbot system is useless, otherwise.

That was the right thing to do (short of fixing all the missing tests, which requires actual thinking :-).
