Considering that neither Tom nor I was convinced that this was a good
idea AT ALL, I'm surprised you committed it in the first place. I'd
be more inclined to revert it than back-patch it, but at least if we
only change it in HEAD we have some chance of finding out whether or
not it is in fact a bad idea before it's too late to change our mind.
