Research direction

Start with the linked ruint CI failure, then compare the change in commit 1e3f80c1e047ec67f79f12e6a8067692edb14e9d and issue #512. Determine whether v3.6.7 and v3.6.8 introduced the reported backwards incompatibility; done means documenting the finding and deciding whether those releases should be yanked.
