Yes, it is in 2.1; it is not in 2.0, yet, because
it is the major fix that was back-ported, and there
will be no more 2.0 releases unless this patch is
reported to fix any problem still open in 2.0.

Thanks for the feedback; however, I assume you are
referring to 2.1, so 2.0 is still an open issue.
Luca was referring to 2.0, so his feedback is valuable.
