Which combinations has this been tested with? Given the time the patch
has existed for, I'm sceptical all the combinations we need have been
tested, I'd love to be wrong. 

This is a pretty major change of behaviour and given the problems
previous changes have caused, I'm very very very nervous about what
issues this is going to cause :(.

Cheers,
