Fixed a regression - cf. commit message

Bug fix - keyword "missing", we certainly did not want backwards
compatibility issues for a newly introduced model.

Same as above.

Not a bugfix and agreed as not needed for 1.3 but still applied

Generally I have been in favor of allowing patches that improve the
quality of the release while not introducing regressions, like typo
fixes or documentation updates. This cycle I was much stricter with the
only-bugfixes rule so I don't understand your complaint.

If for any reason you think a certain PATCH or PULL should not be
applied at a certain point in time, feel free to reply before it gets
committed/merged, which is usually several days later.

Regards,
Andreas
