Changing this breaks the API/ABI.

I consider the 4 KB patch a temporary fix, only to make progress on the release candidate, but not the value to go into the final LTS release.
In other words: I formally NAK this patch for the LTS release, but ACK it for the release candidate.

Let's postpone the discussion until after the release candidate.
