Both combined

(i.e. I think they strictly should be folded).

Just as a (further) consideration: While I continue to think that
undoing immediately is what we want, I wonder whether every further
fallback attempt wouldn't want to also be accompanied by trying if
it _combined_ with legacy replacement mode actually helps if alone
it didn't. Perhaps we want to cross that bridge only if we get a
respective report ...
