Note that I now enabled my fix in r1143089, which removes/resolves my main
concern on why we shouldn't release a new alpha 'now'.
I would like to see the deltas working though... But I don't understand
Ivan's concern/alternate solution.
(I just hope he is not working on a new crawl that gets the same information
from the WC again in additional db queries, as what we started the update
request with and now used by my patch)
