I added the original case so that up-to-date stable-9 systems that were at
(Juniper?) could work.

The bug was such that we don't know that it wasn't being used. It would
never trigger on those systems, so people could be using it and we'll not
know it.

Basically, we should ask Juniper first before removing it since they
specifically asked me to allow it.
