I think as a minimally risky fix to go to 6.12-rcX this makes sense, but 
looking at all this code there is a bit of duplication that exists that 
we should do a more general cleanup for 6.13.

So I'll queue this up in my -fixes branch for 6.12-rcX. but please do 
the bigger cleanup as a follow up that we can land for 6.13.
