It's not a regression from .35, just trying to avoid unexpected changes
to how parts of the build system work after release (which means it
could be perceived as a regression from .36 to .37)

IE: Someone begins to expect this behaviour in 2.6.36, and then
 the patch goes into 2.6.37-rc1, so 2.6.37 behaves differently.
