Sorry I misread the original mail rushing through this is old... so this is less
pressing than I thought (for some reason I thought it was merged last cycle...!)
but it's a good example of how stuff can go unnoticed for a while.

In that case maybe a revert is a bit much and we just want the simplest possible
fix for backporting.

But is the proposed 'just assume wrprotect' sensible? David?

Thanks, Lorenzo
