Agree, such situations need to be avoided, but not at all cost - this workaround allowed CERN to migrate to SL(C)3. Otherwise large parts of our production capacity would still be on 7.3, as this was a "blocking" bug at the time. The "correct" fix via Red Hat will only arrive with RHE3-U5 (-> SL305), and according to my reading of the LCG ATF minutes, ATLAS should actually never have been affected by this (only LHCb).
