That sounds like the right solution to me. We should review it when/if a patch is available. "No OS release ships" is a difficult-to-test-for condition, given things like Gentoo and Debian unstable that simultaneously ship in dozens of versions (i.e. with "releases" every two hours or more often). After a bug fix is available, and some time has passed, I'd rather reallow 4.6.x, and put something into README about this bug. Thanks for investigating it.
