Btw, the revert is now in my tree (commit 011afa1ed8c4), and marked
for stable. So *now* Greg can revert it from stable too.
But the important lesson to everybody should be that "we don't lose
fixes from -stable". If a problem was found in stable, it needs to be
fixed upstream. In fact, quite often people *do* find problems in
stable, because it tends to have more users more quickly than
mainline. That makes it really really important to make sure that
those problems get fixed upstream, and not hidden in stable due to
some kind of dieseased "it's a no-op to revert it" thinking.
End of story.
