This is now resolved, see R-D.

For posterity:
This is fixed up now. Nobody was actually updated, because the update responses pointed to files that didn't exist on the CDN yet, but some users did receive an update dialog that resulted in a failed update.

As Andreas says, we should talk about this in the post mortem, but I do want to mention that the new update server that we're pushing live in a couple of weeks should reduce this kind of human error, and we have plans to integrate these
+pushes with Ship It, which should make it even more difficult to mess this up.

Thank you very much to AaronMT and others for catching this so quickly, and to Nick and Rail for helping me fix things up - I owe you all a few.
