As far as I know "all the people" is just one guy submitting machine-generated
testcases and repeatedly running into the issue.  I suspended the PR because
nobody else reported it, in particular on real-life software.  IMO there are
far more pressing issues to be addressed than this one.

That being said, if you feel strongly about it, then go ahead, I won't oppose.
