You are aware that that was already reverted yesterday? See commit 3632ef89.

What does "partial working system" even MEAN?

Anca, stop emailing worthless crap. Tell what the problems are. And cc
the right people rather than asking me personally to just "revert"
without even saying what the problem is. And if you feel like they
have been ignoring you, then I have a clue for you: I bet they have
been frustrated by the same things I am frustrated by.

IOW, do a nice proper bug-report. Do it to the right people. Include
useful information, and remember that the developers DO NOT see the
problem you have (if they did, they'd not have done the changes), so
"doesn't work" or "the boot screen is not ok" is not something anybody
is ever going to find useful.
