I'm sorry but that doesn't help me a dime to understand current situation. It 
could well be just me, but... here's how I see it:

 - plan invalidation is a new feature in 8.3
 - previous releases are out of business: new feature against stable code
 - now, we have found a bug in plan invalidation
 - HEAD (to be 8.4) will get some new code to fix it

But 8.3 won't benefit from this bugfix? On the grounds that the feature which 
is now deployed on the field should *maybe* not get used the way it *is*?

Sorry again, I really don't get it.
