7d7faa30b4443f0cc76474738a36fd3f45e875f4. Do we really think this were
necessary if we would just avoid updating the update responses files in
the first place and deliver the updated ones only when we want to allow
updating with the built-in updater? There should be no issue with possible
downgrades of 4.5 users to 4.0.8 in this case as the updater related code
is comparing versions and does not install the update if the proposed
update has a lower version number IIRC.

boklm: So what is the exact scenario then which makes the patch necessary?
I seem to be missing something. If we can get away with the idea mentioned
in comment:4 I think backing this patch out might be the cleanest approach
saving us some work (we'd need to upload update response files just once
instead of twice).
