This has nothing to do with 2.1.1-staging. This has to do with the fact
that now fixes get into 2.0.8 which won't even made it into 2.1.0rc1.

The problem is that I was reluctant to have this in 2.1.0rc1. It was not
tested, and it touches core functionality. Then, people screamed this has
to go into 2.1.0rc2, but in the mean time it is already applied to 2.0.8 ?!?
