I don't recall all of the root causes - but suffice it to say that
some of them are not necessarily feasible to work around anyway.

There are numerous other fixes in 8.4.4, which is 100% compatible with
8.4.0 (we have a strict bug-fix only policy for minor releases, unlike
some other DBMSs). There really is no good reason to not use the newer
version, especially as you haven't installed yet.
