So far, I hadn't heard a detailed explanation of what exactly was wrong -- it was simply rejected on grounds of being a "destructive change" without further details. I've since removed the backport nomination in r1665846. You've now provided a good reason for reverting r1501338 on trunk and 1.9.x and closing issue #4390 as WONTFIX.
