This does not have anything to do with Wei's plan (with which I also
agree), but are you sure that the bug being reported here is related to
and would be fixed by the patch you're mentioning?
Have you also seen it, and is that what led to the patch? If yes,
please, add a bit more information (including excerpts of, or insights
about the splat) in the patch changelog.

Dario
