Ok, fair enough. As it is more annoyance than anything, and since your expert
opinion is that it wasn't 'safe' to backpatch, then that probably was a good
call. I just wanted to add that the fix could be a worse thing than the
problem.
I just found it flippant to make a blanket 'upgrade to 7.3' statement....

Good. Hopefully the migration to 7.4 won't be as traumatic as migrating to
7.3 can be.
