Thanks for doing this analysis of the actual effects in 10.0.

I would only be in favor of that if there were some reason to think that
the bug is worse now than it's been in the four years since 9.3 was
released. Otherwise, we should ship the bug fixes we have on-schedule.
I think it's a very very safe bet that there are other data-loss-causing
bugs in there, so I see no good reason for panicking over this one.
