Is it important enough to justify one more pretest, after 26.0.91, and
delay the release by a few more weeks?  Because that's what would be
needed if we install this on the release branch.

Besides, this change was introduced more than a year ago, and we did
that in clear understanding that it changes behavior.  So "closer to
Emacs 25" doesn't sound like a convincing argument in this case,
because we gave up that similarity up front.

Your call.
