Or these are all non-technical issues. The previous patch is fine, although as several people pointed out it lacked a public explanation of why it is needed. We are working on fixing that. We are also working towards the release of a new patch that has some advantages in terms of what functionality is lost when the patch is enabled. > Can I take this patch for as of now? yes, there are no issues with the patch we sent that would prevent anyone using it, it just lacks an explanation and loses more functionality than is strictly necessary.
