It seems like it's been long enough now that if the new logic had
major problems we probably would have found them by now; so I feel
like it's probably pretty safe. Perhaps it's questionable how many
people we'll help by back-patching this into one additional release,
but if you feel it's worth it I wouldn't be inclined to argue.
