If it had been a plain revert, I would have - but while the general
layout of the code is similar, the code around this area has changed
enough that it really needs to be pretty much entirely "fix up by
hand" and wants some care and testing.

Which I am unlikely to have time for during this merge window.

So if you don't get around to it, and _if_ I remember this when the
merge window is open, I might do it in my local tree, but then it will
end up being too late for this merge window.
