I take back that part actually, in the sense that I certainly wouldn't
push patches that I didn't think were good reasonable bugfixes the week
before a release.
But, again, I don't think I was changing any behavior that anybody was
relying on. Had anybody tried this case, they would have immediately
complained that it didn't work the way they would expect, like #14590.

It was? This is my count:
For: Alvaro, Andrew, Tom
Against: Michael, Robert, Andres
Also, I contested every point that was raised about this patch. I don't
think there were any remaining technical objections.
