It's been a couple of weeks now, and I've had a number of reports both on-list, on-blog and in private, from people using this. I have not yet had a single report of a problem caused by this patch (not counting the case where there was a version mismatch - can't fault the patch for that). Given that, I say we apply this for 8.3 and 8.4 now.
