Having heard no objections, and several out-of-band votes, I plan to do this shortly.

The risk is minimal (that is, the risk is not any larger than pushing out any update to any package), since the functionality is already broken.  The backout plan would be to re-deploy reactivate 2.0.29.  Since the last 2 weeks of classes sees increased Athena usage, we are likely to see additional bug reports from users about this problem.  (We have seen 3 reports of sound problems, 1 CD burning problem, and 2 reports of flash drive problems in the past 2 weeks).
