However, the new behavior also fixes what was undoubtedly a problem:

When point is a bob in a diff-mode buffer, `C-c C-a' applies the first hunk, and then stops at its beginning (in Emacs 25 and earlier).
Honestly, i wasn't aware of `C-c C-a' functionality so i didn't realized that aim of the patch.

We would then give up on that fix, whereas I'd prefer to have a solution eventually, if not now. But if we do, I estimate we might have the "old fixed" behavior encroach on the "new different" behavior in certain respects, making the code even more complex.
I agree, `C-c C-a' or `M-k' is a good thing to have fixed. Eventually, i would like to use such features.

I've honestly thought that Dima's patch's main purpose was to fix that bug. And everything else we now complain about are just implementation's side-effects.
It seems you are right. IMO, we must aim to have the `C-c C-a' stuff fixed, but preserving those behaviours that we are complaining here. Until this aim is fulfilled, i would like to pospone this patch, or to have a temporary solution as Mark's one in this thread.
