Which means it will probably still be the case with 2.62.

Only that I don't have access to a platform to test out whether the
testsuite still works, and that I haven't written a corresponding
ChangeLog entry.  I have the patch queued on a topic branch in my local
repository, ready to apply if we get some positive feedback.

But I suspect it is worth applying.
