Judging by the commit messages, this looked pretty non-intrusive.. This
should be backported to 4.x so that it doesn't disappear into a
non-functioning -current while it's broken for extended periods during
merging. If it doesn't get backported it will probably be out of
circulation for 12+ months, and it'll be easiest to do it now rather than
after things have started diverging too far.
Cheers,
