And the lack of a "regression potential" attached to this bug. I'd like to see some comments on what the danger is here, as to me, this seems like a clear change in the way it works, and might cause regressions for applications which don't expect them to be in this order.

Leaving it in the queue for now, but can somebody please add a full SRU
justification to the bug description?
