Thus, are you going to send an actual patch? I'm wondering if we could 
arrange it in such a way not to break the binary compatibility in the 
release branch (thus fix the bug there too) perhaps by not removing any 
data members, simply leaving them unused?! In mainline I suppose we are 
going to stabilize the ABI for the 5.0 release, thus we can do that. 
While we are at it, check that the order of the final remaining data 
members is still optimal size-wise.

Thanks!
Paolo.
