In general, I agree.

But since we are trying to make a release happen, reverting a change
(for some minor bug) which turns out to cause more problems than it
fixes seems acceptable to me.

Also, IMO for 22.1, we should only fix bugs which are regressions
since 21.4.  Any bug which was also present in 21.4 should wait for
22.2 or 23.1
