Is there a changelog entry for release 7.16 that you can point
at in your commit log message?

It's not that I do not believe you, but I'd feel happier to see
independent success stories/confirmation, as I do not know if we
have broken non-multi codepath lately.  How many people still use
the non-multi codepath I wonder?

List?
