I thought about that, and it seems like the upgrade path from 7.x -> 
8.x is going to be slower than among any of the 7.x releases. 8.0 is 
still several months away and it will probably be several months more 
before people who are affected by this issue in production databases.

The other thing I thought about was a caveat in the 7.x documentation 
under indexes, as it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. That would 
keep it off the general FAQ but let folks using 7.x releases know about 
it.
