Mis-advertising is the problem, that's all.  This
failed the "binary compatible" test, for code which
correctly handled the single advertised change.

Even if it's a minor incompatibility, it's a pain to
have to spend days fixing things and retesting (!!)
in various configs to get back to the previous level
of functionality.  When you were told explicitly that
there was no need for such a time investment.

That's all.  It doesn't seem wrong to expect patch
descriptions to be accurate.
