Not sure I follow you there, so let's dig a little bit into that point. 
How exactly would that break bisectability? The only difference I see is 
whether tx25 building succeeds or not; however if being able to build is 
the criterion for bisectability, this brings us back to all other boards 
in the tree which will also not build any more with my patch, and 
whether I should fix them or not.

On a side note, I do not know of a clear general definition of 
'bisectability', which means I could break it yet again unkonwingly. Can 
you (or anyone, actually :) ) point me to a, or even the, standard 
definition of 'bisectable' and, if that has a specific meaning, of 
'fully bisectable'?
