Given that we pushed out the bad code a year ago and nobody's complained,
I think it's safe to assume that no one is using any supported release
with a pre-7.3 server.
It's reasonable to doubt that this is the only problem the affected
applications would have with such a server, too. I don't see a lot
of point in "fixing" this code unless somebody actually tests that.
