When did Ben post this?

Suggesting a temporary workaround in an e-mail is *not* the same as
posting a patch, and definitely not the same as providing a
signed-off-by which AFAICT you forged.  Don't do that.

is not the first to be probed?  If your answer is that you fix that in a
later patch, that breaks bisectability.
