I think that leaving splice() as it was, is worse than breaking the "NEVER BREAK USERSPACE" rule, in this specific instance. It should not become a regular occurence, but I don't see a better way. They tried to stick to it, things happened, but I am optimistic that they will fix it and try better the next time.
