I concur. 8u362 is currently in rampdown and only open for
time-critical fixes and regressions from 8u352. An enhancement that
warrants a CSR certainly doesn't meet that criteria.

Why has this not been backported to 11u first? This will now an
inconsistency between the three LTS releases (8u & 17u with the
behaviour, 11u without). This should be rectified.
