That was my sentiment as well. We kept the patches on the list with a possible hold of a week or two on the premisse that we already had patches up for review and that the fix was very safe. Now that the story looks little more complex, and with your added context about how long this issue has been present, means it no longer makes sense to hold the 17.2 release up. I will create the release tomorrow or Sunday. -- Joel
