Comment 11 for bug 1885419

After an initial analysis by Rafael we decided that we will upload a revert of version .27 so that we have more time to re-evaluate this.

The backports of the fixes added the assert, but chances are that the issue was already present in Bionic before - not triggered but detected by the backport. To get everyone functional again I'll prepare an SRU to revert the change currently in -updates.
Once it lands we will re-open the bionic task of bug 1805256 and work on an improved fix for it there.
