We should consider fixing this for RC.1

Calling this an enhancement while we check if this is a regression.
UPDATE:
It does repro on 7.0 but does not in 5.1. This is not a regression. We won't block 7.1 RTM for this.

Just to confirm it is still biting on 7.2.1.

Why is this considered an "enhancement"? We just had our first incident because of this destructive bug, I feel we should be much louder about this.
Is this being looked at for 7.3?

Looks like this has been fixed with #15873

What is the threshold for backporting the fix to 7.2 (LTS-current), considering it is supported for another 2 years?
iSazonov commentedon Jan 13, 2023
ajansveld Only security fixes are backported. Also regressions from previous version.
SteveL-MSFT commentedon Jan 23, 2023
Since this is a regression from 5.1 and hitting customers, we should consider backport to 7.2
