I read the mailing list, so I'm perfectly aware of that bug and the
related discussions.  Please don't hijack this bug to hold it hostage
to that one.  This bug is about a related issue, but one thing it is
_not_ about is reverting the change in question.  So talking here
instead of on #17109 is not useful.
