There's no issues in Mark's testing, which is great. I'm still a bit
cautious about getting this in, so let's opt for the following:
Let's have this for 17.0.0 and if issues arise we can investigate or
simply revert if fixing it takes too long/is impossible.
How does that sound ?
In either case I'd suggest to adding a fallback in the affected application.
Thanks
Emil
