In which case this information should have been part of the change log to
make it clear this is a fix. Fixes tag should also mention the releases
this is applicable to so this patch doesn't make it to stables releases
without cf6219ee889f - so this test still runs.

If you are adding Fixes tag it should mention the releases this is
applicable to. Can you get me that information?
