That would be the fix, but it's not worth releasing an immediate 3.6.4 IMHO and by the time 3.6.4 comes about it could be more pain to change back than to leave it. That's the balance I'm thinking about for a while.

Including Ned so he's aware. If we do a snap 3.6.4 for some other reason then it's worth swapping the order, but after a few months out there I think the damage, small as it is, will have been dealt with.
