I agree. In fact, I think I mentioned this several days ago on IRC. The
bug isn't particularly nasty/common/important to block a release. Users
have had to deal with it for some time, a little while longer won't hurt.

I can provide a patch to revert it from either HEAD or the 7.8 branch.
Just let me know which you'd prefer. [That is, if Doug hasn't already
done so or is working on it, but I know he's very, very busy at the moment.]
