I try to maintain the right balance. A hard-to-fix minor and infrequent
regression is probably better than a fix that might cause other
regressions. The stabsread patch is somewhere in the middle between
and obvious fix, and the hard-to-fix, so it was not obvious to me
which decision to take.
I also trust Pedro and Pierre, this is not an issue for me. But I would
like an extra pair of eyes like yours to confirm that this patch is safe
for the branch. With that in mind, it becomes perfectly reasonable
to put this patch in the branch as well.
Note that the 6.7 release is currently scheduled in a week from now.
If this is an important issue, we might have to delay it if the patch
hasn't been approved at that time.
