I've learned my lesson, I never should have put the original patch in
to begin with.

And you're so sloppy here, you didn't even bother adding a Fixes: tag.

The patch at the root of all of this has terrible semantics, and it's
added tons of regressions.  All of which goes against our most basic
principles.

I've been patient enough, but I've now reverting everything, sorry.

It's unfortunate if you have things which depend upon this, but too
bad.  This change has been extremely disruptive for a lot of people,
including me.

You're going to have to work really hard to ever get me to consider
applying patches which do this again.
