This is pretty thorny.  That's a lot of changing at this late date, but
we do have a regression to fix.

The USE/CLOBBER counts against issue rate *sounds* like it's an
optimization problem, not a correctness problem.  Is that correct?  If
so, maybe we could leave out those bits -- but they also sound the
least risky.

And, I assume, ran those packages?
