Alex: Do you have data on how popular this extension is?

If it's very popular and the leak builds up over time, we should consider upping the priority.

not very popular at all, < 1000 users.

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

This bug does not meet the new maintenance release (1.9.0.x) criteria (security, stability, regression from maintenance release).
