[Bug 264019] Re: unable to visit some websites and ftpsites with 2.6.27

[Nick Lowe]

I've just seen:

This isn't going to be a corner case issue.

If the problem here is one of QA process having rebuilt and not rebuild time itself, what is needed here IMO is a clear case of risk management.
 
My view is that, even this late in the release cycle, the fix is so obvious and limited in code footprint/scope, that the question needs to be asked:
 
What is the chance of us introducing a regression making this change?
 
-weighted against-
 
What do we know or think will happen if we do nothing about this?
 
For me, considering that, I definitely feel that this is a strong candidate to be an exception to normal release rules.
