The "regression fixes" pre-release -rc period is for is to make sure to avoid unwanted/unintended behaviour changes between releases.

People have _already_ seen and lived with these issues in released versions. Changing it may or may not be getting it back to the state to that of an even older release, but at that point the differences do not matter. It is a "fix", too late for the kind of regression fixes we focus during _this_ -rc period, which is about regressions between v1.8.2 and 'master'.
