I complete disagree.

Something that worked perfectly fine, probably for years, we broke.

We simply cannot do that, especially since we do not have a reasonable
alternative at this time.

Adding SO_REUSEPORT is a long range option, and not something that
will provide a fix for users right now.

So please don't even pretend to suggest that we shouldn't fix this
with a revert unless a simple, obvious, kernel fix presents itself.
