You don't need a release manager pronouncement for that. It's a bug,
changing it is a bug fix, you don't need RM permission to fix a bug.

Do you have a patch ready that restores path_importer_cache behavior,
yet  preserves the property that it caches existence of a directory?
If not, I will have to produce one.
