I'm not going to push backpatch this to 9.3/9.4 without you being on
board. For that I think you're unfortunately too often right, and this
is too critical. But I'm also not going to develop an alternative
stopgap for those versions, since I have no clue how that'd end up being
better.
The only alternative proposal I have right now is to push this to
9.5/9.6 (squashed with a followup patch removing legacy truncations) and
then push the patch including legacy stuff to 9.3/4 after the next set
of releases.
