My answer is Yes. The dict iteration regression breaks lxml really badly
and I'm sure code of other people is impacted, too. Remember that ref-leaks
are way less obvious than crashes and usually won't show in test suites. It
took me quite a while to get to the source of this problem.

Besides, it's been almost a month since the release and if nothing else
piled up since then, the better.
