Thanks. I guess we're a bit late to make it into the upcoming release.
Certainly we have survived for many years without this particular
bugfix, so in that sense it is not urgent. But I do wonder if we will
see more reports as more people start using the new macOS release. So it
might be good to keep in mind for maint, if we cut a minor release.

Or alternatively, we could include _just_ the first patch. That's low
risk, since you have to enable to knob yourself, but it gives people an
option if they run into the symptom. But even that is probably not that
urgent. People can also cherry-pick the patch, after all (and a
distributor like homebrew can probably include the patch in their recipe
if need be).
True.  The topic is forked at somewhere mergeable to 'maint' so
distro folks who are interested can merge them down later.  I think
it is small and safe enough to merge them both down to the upcoming
release, though.
