It's not a "foolish thing" to roll back a busted version of FF when sometimes your "bug" changes/fixes are implemented incorrectly (or in this case w/o warning of such a major change). The amount of calls that came in would have been daunting to deal with w/o the ability to quickly address versioning with our clients and determine what happened to all the FF users. Even with a rollback, a user with auto-updating on would simply be re-updated, no?
