I would agree that it should be pretty darn rare. But even so, this is not a fix for an immediate bug but just safety against possible future bugs. So even if there is somebody out there who manages to miss having the fix, I think they are not at serious risk.
Can we hold it till 8.4.1? Or is that not an option?
