Both were for the same thing, though, and was fixed by Juri's patch.

I think that looked like the right solution.

I agree that the timing for this change was unfortunate, especially for
such a low-level change.  It does make sense to me to back out the
change for now and then apply it to master again once the emacs-27
branch has been cut.  (Or perhaps doing it the other way around is
easier -- cut the emacs-27 branch and then revert the change there.)

I think you're right in that there may be other interactions that we
still don't have a full overview of.
