I don't need any kind of defense because I *did* make a mistake in the
testing and because this is *not* a latent bug. The backport was not as
obvious as I had thought, so in retrospect what I should have done would
have been to first submit a patch for 4.3 only, and then a patch for
4.2/4.1.
I remember I had made the same mistake (not looking at the wrong logs,
O:-) rather assuming that the same fix applied to two wildly different
codebases) with a performance PR affecting 4.0 and 3.4 (I don't remember
the PR number); in that case Eric also had suggested reverting on 3.4
and I did that exactly.
In this case however this is a much worse bug (it is P1 for a reason,
even if the testcase was not reported by a user), so I'm committing the
additional fix which has been approved by Richard.
