True that’s possible, except that it only applies if customers actually install 
a corrected older version that we make available.   We can pour the clean water 
but can’t make the customer drink it; he might still be drinking the dirty 
water.

Thanks for that suggestion.

...or take the upstream fix...apply to your older version and keep the 
heartbeat functionality. Which is what I believe the very latest redhat/centos 
patches do
