Andrew, please don't be lazy this one. I don't hope to slip this anymore.
I was making the patch as you requested. but no responce. I who stabilization
developr can't permit this userland breakage and sucky status. please
join to fix it. Sadly, The delay will be increase, I have to switch 
full revert entirely instead your opinion.

Spell out: I don't hope to continus this crazy discussion. a userland 
breakage bug is a bug, not anything else. I don't hope to talk this 
one anymore even though it's only 5 miniture. I don't think any rare
usecase feature should die. but ZERO USER FEATURE SHOULDN'T BREAK USERLAND.
