Sounds like the addition of the .tar.lz package during the PTI changes
was enough to derail the process.
Even seemingly minor changes to prod ops can involve a lot of work to
allow the changes to be applied to production systems: sometimes the
major effort is getting approvers to believe that the potential impact
to existing operations is essentially zero, when something new and
discrete is being added.
