We can name it whatever we want, but it won't change the facts: a
non-trivial behavior change was introduced into a pretest that was
five minutes before its last .9X version, the one that should have
been followed by a release. If I were in Stefan's and Yidong's shoes
now, I'd probably insist on another .9X pretest.
It's too bad that the behavior ``agreed on emacs-devel and approved
several times to do on the Emacs 22 branch'' was not added to the code
enough time ago, but this sad fact does not mean such changes should
be allowed to be installed now without additional discussions, IMO.
