No, you did not. That was my attempt to end the paragraph on a positive
and constructive note. What I meant was "I think you are wrong and it is
a bugfix, but I do not care overly what we call it as long as we do it."
:)

Do note that my "as long as we do it" is about the direction, not the
patch. There are a few issues with the patch itself, and I just posted a
review.

That is a fair point. From the release notes perspective, it probably is
a feature (there is a documentation bug, but it happens to be fixed at
the same time).
