OK, I can't speak to that issue specifically.

Generally, though, the worst that can happen is "you fix one problem
affecting a subset of users and replace it with a larger problem
affecting a larger subset of users".

If there's doubt about the impact of a change, 10 seconds before the
release is not the appropriate time to cram it in.
