It does need to be fixed independently of large anon folios.  Said fix
should probably be backported to 6.1 once it's suitably stable.  However,
I'm not working on it.  I have a lot of projects and this one's a
missed-opportunity, not a show-stopper.  Sounds like Zi Yan might be
interested in tackling it though!
