It can definitely get worse. For instance it might be unusable for
people in both RTL and LTR layouts. Or it might randomly crash.

I'm not saying you patch causes this, I'm just saying, this is why we
have freezes, and do as little as possible at the end. We have *no* new
release before the final 2.14 tarball now, so changes will get zero
testing. We already have a major regression in 2.13.92:

Lets make sure we don't have any more...

I'm sure you think this is boring, and RTL people won't like it, but
release management is not done to piss people off, its very important to
not fuck up the release for everyone.
