ouch, but not critical in this case. Mike's monster patch changes
pretty much everything, so a regtest comparison isn't useful.
I mean, it's big enough that it would be more effective to reset
the web regtest checker and recruit a new wave of users to
evaluate them.

Given Mike's monster, I doubt that the pixel comparator will be
useful for 2.17.1.
i know that i'm late - forgot about it, sorry :( - but nevertheless it
may still be possible:
what about having a separate release containing only Mike's patch?
Since 2.17.1 isn't released yet (at least officially), maybe we could
do sth like this:
- branch 6f4893fa86378aa4a637eedbde5efc4680efa5bf (last commit before
skylines) as release/2.17.1, release it
- then release 28f3294954eff1f263d3b2e3de1c520f4d2fbdfc (skylines) as
2.17.2
- continue as usual
?
It would be handy for regtest comparisons and other things like that.
