Yeah... We have reached a clear consensus about the way things should be done after quite a lot of discussions that has gone for a couple of months. And Andres' design on the matter is what is getting approval from everybody who has worked toward addressing this issue while really taking care of the problem at its root.
Clearly I am not included in your use of the words "we" and "everybody" !
What you mean is that you and Andres agree, so using the word consensus is not appropriate and certainly not clear. We did all agree on the point that the earlier fix cannot be backpatched, so if it is as grevious a problem as described many users will not now benefit.
I will revert my earlier patch now.
