Clarification: I split my changes into two patches. They both still work on the latest release.
My patches simply restore code that was removed a while back, so it's pretty safe to consider them already-tested. They don't change the default behavior, so applying them shouldn't affect current users unless they specifically enable the restored functionality.
In other words, these patches should be fairly easy to validate and safe to apply.
