Comment:

 This ticket was discussed during today's 6.4 post-beta 1 scrub.

 @costdev brought up a potential BC (backward-compatible) break of changing
 `m` to `y`. This is a valid concern when considering how to move this
 bugfix forward.

 As @joemcgill pointed out:
 >Definitely needs some deep research and added unit tests, if possible to
 ensure this doesn't break again in the future.

 If there is truly a BC concern, this one might benefit from being in the
 early early alpha phases of a major release.

 I'm marking this one with `2nd-opinion` to denote it needs

 * Thorough historical review.
 * Consideration of how to deal with a BC break.
 * If this one should be moved into `early` alpha phase.
