It seems that people are still finding regressions in the topic for this item in the 2.8-rc3:

 * Another try to improve the ignore mechanism that lets you say
   "this is excluded" and then later say "oh, no, this part (that is
   a subset of the previous part) is not excluded".  This has still
   a known limitation, though.

Known limitations in a new feature are somewhat OK, but I am getting an impression that this is not nearly complete yet and it needs more time to be tested before it inflicts pain to the general public.

I've reverted the offending changes from 'master' and will be tagging an extra -rc (2.8-rc4) early next week, as reverting a topic this late in the cycle is something I feel uncomfortable with.

Thanks.
