My impression was that we should change as little as possible once a release is cut. We fix bugs, but we don't change code just to make it more maintainable, for fear of introducing more bugs or regressing the known state of the release.
That aside, this fix is fairly minor so I'll probably just drop it. The only question that remains is what people should do going forward when a change needs to be made to an RC branch that is incompatible with its "-forward" branch.
