I agree. But nevertheless, users may still get errors when upgrading, and won't get errors if we don't release this SRU. So the failures would still be a consequence of releasing this SRU, so I think we should care.

Agreed. I did some investigation, and I think it's a race. I added some details in that bug.

So the question is: do we release this SRU in the knowledge that it will cause failures for some users (quite a large number given the numbers affected in bug 1642966), or do we defer until we can have a fix for that bug too?

How important is it that this SRU lands sooner, rather than waiting and bundling a fix for bug 1642966 at the same time?
