I've been working on landing PCRE2 support upstream. It wound up taking longer than I'd initially anticipated because even though all usage is via a wrapper, it's common to want to know where matches actually start and end, and the relevant data type changed with PCRE2. (The wrapper is belatedly gaining a typedef abstracting this change away, but various call sites maintained by different subteams still need formal updating.) For the time being, we can switch to an embedded copy of classic PCRE by dropping the build dependency on libpcre3-dev; that's of course not a proper fix, but should at least let us downgrade this bug's severity. -- Aaron M.
