I'd proceed as is, document that on the release notes. If there would be many complaints, I might consider to do a 18u1 nbm release.

For me this is not a big problem as described above, but people using
plain JS in the IDE might face bigger problems. At least the message
log gets flooded and of of course you'll get annoying exception
bubbles.

Sorry about that.
That's fine!  It happens.  But this is a discussion thread, so what
exactly are we discussing?  How do you think we should proceed?

I guess there are at least 3 choices -

1. Pull the vote.  Doing that means throwing away about 8-10 hours of
work across 4 people, and will delay the release by a couple of weeks.

2. Do an 18-u1 release in a couple of weeks to push this fix, and any
others that arise, via the update centres.  Do we have a volunteer to
RM?  I'll help if need be, but won't be able to put much time into it.

3. Proceed as is, and provide information on how to mitigate the issue.

I'm also concerned why this hasn't been picked up during the release
candidate phase?  Those are cheap to produce, voting candidates are
not.  In particular now we've moved to a consolidated vote.  Are there
things we could improve in our RC testing?  Voting candidates should
not need to be tested for functionality.

Thanks and best wishes,

Neil
