The patch just isn't an obvious -stable patch - it's adding new functionality, not fixing a bug, and I was surprised to discover it had been added as a result. It's fine as new functionality and therefore hasn't been reverted upstream. We can probably leave it there, though if this is OK that's a bit of a change, but if this new functionality is a good fix then we're probably leaving other systems unfixed which isn't good, I would be very much happier if we understood what had changed here. If new functionality is OK there's a probably a bunch of other changes we should be pulling back.
