I'm confused now.

Comment 0 points at a regression range that does not affect 85, since Dec 16 is after the central bump to 86.

In addition, grafting the change in this bug to beta hits conflicts with bug 1678616 / bug 1681322 which touched the same area and tests during 86 nightly.

you are right, the bug that causes this regression should not affect 85, we don't have to uplift this one.
fogel, can you help double check whether this bug happens in 85? thanks!

Indeed, there is no longer a need for it to be uplifted.
Verified with 85.0b8 and it's working as expected, updating the flags accordingly.
