No it's not.

It's still papering over a totally unrelated bug. It's not a "fix", it's a 
"paper-over". It doesn't matter if _behaviour_ changes.

Can you really not see the difference?

Afaik, everybody pretty much agreed what the real fix should be (don't 
mark the page not up-to-date, just remove it from the radix tree), I'm not 
seeing why you continue to push the patch that ALREADY GOT NAK'ed.
