Hi Sam,

Thank you for weighing in on this. I appreciate your opinion.

I'm more bothered that we've considered and weighed up the non-Windows
use case. I hadn't yet set a bar - I was just asking for regressions in
all use cases to be considered and that consideration documented, as is
SRU policy. This helps us reach a decision, and should ideally have
happened first, before the SRU was accepted into the proposed pocket.

I'm convinced by your arguments, so I'm happy with the testing already
performed. Thank you to Bruce and Joshua for your work on this.

We don't usually release SRUs on Fridays in case of regression, but I'd
be happy to release this on Monday, subject to the usual checks.
