Yes, please update quickly.

I did not notice this change earlier as some new library dependences 
added by Chris broke my LNT builds (now fixed). Also for some reason the 
LNT builder does not turn red if the submission fails. So it took a 
while to notice this.

In general my current use case is not to look every day but to look at 
the full per-commit performance history for reference whenever I do 
something performance critical or when I track down performance bugs.
Unfortunately, now a couple of days performance data is lost. :( It 
would be nice if this could be fixed quickly (or the offending LNT 
changes be disabled until the LNT builder is upgraded).

Cool.

Best,
Tobias

P.S: I know we did not have LNT access for now, but maybe in the future 
first updating the LNT server and then committing problematic client 
changes would be nice.
