I saw that comment and proposed patch. I must admit I don't quite
understand both the problem and the solution (yet). I'd be happy to hear
an in-depth explanation in another thread. Care to start one and give me
a quick education?

That depends upon the status of tcnative. If we can get a release done
for tcnative before Violetta rolls 7.0.60, then it can go in. Otherwise,
it'll have to wait for 7.0.61. I suspect that 7.0.61 isn't going to be
months away, so it wouldn't be terrible if tcnative had to wait.
