Frankly I'm very disappointed in the fallout this has been causing.
Everyone supporting this change, get real, and admit it doing in fact cause a serious regression.
If you can't get past that simple fact, you cannot discuss this issue intelligently.
You can't say "userland will fix things up"
Because we're never supposed to break userland in the first place.
There is simply no excuse for this and I want this change reverted both in Linus's tree and in -stable.
