Hmm, sorry, I don't get why it is unnecessary because the old memory is
unencrypted. We developers should cover all cases unless a certain case
is no way to fix, or fixing it is not cost-effective. Otherwise there's
no execuse for us to not fix. When QE try their best to cover all test
cases, they don't consider its significance because even corner case
need be swept out, that is their job. There isn't a rule for developers
to decide if it's significant.

Or could you point out what complexity it will bring to defend your
point?
