Related to this, how is this going to affect point releases, and are
there any lingering doubts about the mechanism of the fix? This is
quite serious given my reliance on archiving, so unless the thinking
for point releases is 'real soon' I must backpatch and release it on
my own accord until then.
Thanks for the attention paid to the bug report, as always.
