Call it what you want :-) The bottom line is that we'll release a
2.7.5 soon because of breakage introduced in 2.7.4. Whether or not
it's a "regression" according to some platonic definition isn't
very important here.

I think this kind of stuff is too tricky to risk breaking 2.7
once again with it.
If 3.x has the same issue, then a patch is helpful, otherwise not IMHO.
