Definitely agreed, I was more taking in the general sense (sorry, should have been clearer), as it's not the first time some backport exposes existing problems that take a while to get analyzed and fixed in mainline. Which is just how it is sometimes, hence a revert and a reapply of that backport (once the fix is available) in stable/longterm sounds appropriate to me to prevent users from running into known problems.
