The regression was so serious that applying the patch for 12.3.1 by itself is "bad". My concern when making this (and we just finished this up after scrambling for the entire day, once we realized what happened) was two scenarios: (1) Someone would apply only the patch for 12.3.1, and end up with a crippling regression (2) Someone would casually read the security release announcement, only apply the patch for 12.3.2, and end up with a vulnerable system. With this case - where 12.3.2 contains the full delta between itself and 12.3.0, the worst that happens is you get the 'previously applied patch warning', and only if you applied the patch for 12.3.1 in the very short time that it was alive. That stinks, but feels like the best path forward through a bad situation. Thus: consider 12.3.2 as a complete replacement for 12.3.1. If I could remove all traces of 12.3.1 (and its companions), I would. Alas, that's ... really hard ... so it is what it is.
