We are trying to fix the condenseChanges bugs but this is not easy.
I spent some times to try to arrive to a smaller test fixture that
would show the problem.
But so far I have been too busy (esug is approaching and the academic
year too).
I thought that it would be better to ship 3.9 without the bug but I
will discuss with adrian
since he should be back from the military service to see. What we do.

FFI has been removed
There is no source file limitation since we condenseChanges and
condenseSources in 7054

Normally for us we will either find the bug and fix it and ship
or ship 3.9
