Not only is this too risky for emacs-26, I believe this change might
cause regressions elsewhere, in the form of leaving portions of the
frame not redrawn when needed.  I suggest you run with this change for
a few weeks and watch for redisplay problems, before concluding it's
okay to install it.

Thanks.
