[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Olivier,

Thanks again for tracking down this weird bug!

Hm…  How long would we have to carry this fork?  My fear is we'd 
do so indefinitely.

How about creating a (possibly hidden) tree-without-stddata 
package variant, to use as input to packages who currently break 
with this feature enabled?  That lets us refcount the need for it.

Kind regards,

T G-R
