I was hoping we could re-enable VMA locks in 6.4 once we get more confirmations that the problem is gone. Is that not possible once the BROKEN dependency is merged?
I think "no". By doing this we're effectively backporting a minor performance optimization, which isn't a thing we'd normally do.
In that case, maybe for 6.4 we send the fix and only disable it by default without marking BROKEN? That way we still have a way to enable it if desired?
