I'm not doubting that the revert was correct for upstream. But we have a different context in a stable release, where users may be relying on behaviours that upstream are at liberty to change in their main development branch, but we are not in our stable releases. Further, we can't just assume that what is correct for them in their code base is correct for us to cherry-pick to our stable release that holds a previous version of the code base. Somebody needs to spend time to ensure this is safe.
