Dave:
You are missing several points:
1. It wasn't until this morning that there was a post that the
problem was a bad plist. Sorry - the fact that this was the problem
was not clearly evident when things started to break.
2. If Apple Support had the fix as of Sunday, or Monday or Tuesday,
and it was not generally posted, for such an snafu as this, it would
to my mind be even more irresponsible of Apple (gee we fried your
server but we are not going to give you a fix unless you pay us.). I
don't believe this was the case.
3. My basic response is I thank the the Apple consultant who did the
dirty work, uncovered the problem and provided a patch - which is
what Apple should have done, not him.
My $0.02.

Something like editing a plist is an extremely, extremely basic

duties include running such servers, especially servers that are
purportedly "critical", don't have this capability, then they
absolutely need to have support contracts with Apple for Mac OS X
Server, any of which would have solved this problem:
