RFR 8171988: backout of 8062389, 8029459, 8061950

[joe darcy]

Hello,

Assuming we'll want to revisit this work at some point, there are some 
advantages to anti-delta-ing the code changes now, but just problem 
listing the tests in terms of making a less confusing history.

Thanks,

-Joe

I don’t have much more detail besides the below bug, but I’m wondering if you could do us a huge favor and roll your change back for now while it’s debugged (and so we can get our automated tests going again).
