IMHO as long as the difference from v18 looks reasonable, commit-by-commit
regressions and improvements that even out in the end are okay.  That's
perhaps a bit of mental gymnastics (e.g., what if we had committed the
inlining patch for v18?), but I believe that's how we've dealt with similar
problems in the past.  But maybe there are ways to avoid even these
in-development regressions, too...
