Note that I didn't "confirm" the fix.  I only confirmed the
existence of the breakage (not that I have any reason to doubt the
competence your "fix" patches were made with).

When evaluating a change in the interoperability area, it does not
add much more confidence to the correctness that the change has been
in use for months with the same partner than that it has been used
to talk to many different partners even for a short period of time,
I guess.

Yeah, the problematic one is not in 'master'.
