Hi Łukasz,

As we have to a decision here, my vote is to revert the patch in 3.8.2 and 3.7.7

I have gone back-and-forth with this thinking, and it seems revert might address some definite complaints we have got.

The problem is contained to single version, and users can upgrade to the next one.

Thanks,

Senthil
