The thing is, though, that without the patch 9.4.x would have failed to
produce such a dump at all. Is that really a better outcome? At least
if you have the dump, you have the option to update so you can read it.
With no dump at all, you might be screwed at a most inopportune moment.
(Think "automatic dump script was failing and nobody noticed" ...)
