But to be fair to Marc, I think that he reported issues with pack after 5.8.3 was released and at the time I wasn't sure how to fix it and punted. (He may have reported it earlier, that's the earliest I remember saying roughly "I don't know how to fix this safely") So I haven't dealt with it for about 2 years. It's one of those icky things where it's always easier to volunteer to deal with something else first. The only point I partially dealt with it was during my TPF grant. 5.8.9 will be the first stable release after that, due to the small delay of a job that tried to drive me insane.
