That's pretty much my feeling as well.  The thing is that postponing 8.2
any further will deprive users of a lot of good stuff, in order to fix a
problem that apparently isn't biting anyone in the field.  And it's not
clear that we can fix this on a shorter-than-8.3-ish timescale anyway.
The only obvious solution involves adding another header field, which
I'm sure is not very acceptable.
