Whether we are going to replace with newer LGPL2.1 copy (which I think is more conservative and tend to prefer) or removing it and require PCREv2 from everybody who does not want to see their fixed-grep performance degraded, we won't keep the "hack" when we take the one of these solutions for longer term, but it is a minimal and obvious workaround.
