 with PHP7 is significant if triggered.

 What are the ways in which users are most likely to experience this
 problem in the real world? (want to be sure I'm not missing cases here)

 > Any host which is running PHP7 & Imagick is one which is keeping on top
 of updates (I would hope) given the rapid release rate of core and
 extensions - I'm kind of hoping that affected hosts would've upgraded the
 extension before we actually have to blacklist it.

 I'd hope this also, *if* we give hosts enough runway/notice to do it. In
 reality, some, but not all hosts will be upgraded, so I'd like to look at
 this from the user perspective.
