I wonder if we should wait for 2.23 ?  It looks as if backports will
have to wait, and might take some time (I only glanced at the inline
patch, but it looked "somewhat large" and the tests were in an
attachment to a followup mail.

I did some tags recently, thought I would check my mail before doing
the next batch - wish I had checked earlier.  Do you want me to
alter all the 7.9 tags back to 7.8 (seems easier than 'svn revert' ?)
