Richard Hansen added the comment:

My preference is to apply the patch, of course.  There is a legitimate concern 
that it will break existing code, but I think there are more points in favor of 
applying the patch:
  * there exists code that the current behavior is known to break
  * it's easier to remove assert(view->suboffsets == NULL) than to
    change producers to not provide an all-negative array (though I
    admit there may be other more subtle ways the patch would break
    existing code)
  * I may be the only one who has spoken up about this, but I doubt
    I'm the only one who has experienced it
