When a change was made to address one problem, and you think it causes another problem, please make an effort to find a way to rescue the change before you ask people to take it out. In this case, I am the only one who has tried to do that. A couple of days ago, someone finally did tell me what problem he saw in this change, so I proposed avenues for solving it.
