Just to note, this one is fine as it is fixing an ABI bug
so is a valid reason to change the ABI.

In theory though we should pull it out as a fix to add to stable
as well, but it's low risk that anyone is using the 'false'
channel so I don't think we care about backports for this one.

Thanks,

Jonathan
