In general, no, because this fix is somewhat ad-hoc, and therefore
could have unintended consequences; that is inappropriate on the
release branch at this time.  But please wait until the discussion of
this bug and its fix is completed, because only then we will have a
complete picture about the root cause and the expected effects of the
solution we will install (which is not necessarily what was already
installed, for the reasons I tried to explain in my previous message).
