Thank you for bringing those to my attention, we'll monitor those closely.

We have had this code running in the wild in select deployments for
months without any issues so far, the updated packages have also been
in our proposed pockets for an extended period before being shipped
today.

So while we really should get these fixes in as soon as possible,
luckily it does not appear to happen too often in the wild.

I'll work towards getting these backported too so that we can consume
them from a point release update.
