It would be a revert to the code that has been in use for a while.
The current code has been in use for 11 months. Beside this bug report,
nobody has worried about that. And the problems this bug report speaks
about are solved, I believe.
Nothing absolutely necessary about that, but it might be prudent to
revert the changes made without clear understanding why they should be
made. Please correct me on this if I'm wrong, of course.
Again, it is a matter of not touching code so close to a release. 35+
years experience in software development tell me so. Often enough I've
changed just one single line, because "it is obvious it cannot be
wrong". Haha.
