No, it means that it happened between 2 and 3 days ago.

I would have thought it was obvious from the files that people have
reported they had success reverting that the following change is what
triggered the break in bootstrapping:

        * faces.el (face-set-after-frame-default): Ignore errors
        in face-spec-face-set.

        * cus-face.el (custom-declare-face): Add face-defface-spec
        prop after applying the face spec.


But it seems the real problem may be with a prior change to cl-macs.el
