Comment (by rhaas):
Let me restate the question then: is the current state of the scripts going to make the success rate of configuring ExternalLibraries without user intervention (and not fail in any of the machines in simfactory where we do provide explicit settings) higher than if we went back to the state of the last release? If not then we should go back to the state of the last release since then at least we get a known bad thing rather than an unknown bad thing. Basically I don't want to make things worse than before (obviously) but also do not want to make them only a little bit better but introduce larger, mostly non-battle tested scripts.
