If it works with mock 1.3 (in stretch) and with unittest.mock from
3.4, then you're fine. Very much depends on the size and variety of
your codebase, whether you will have an issue or not.

But it doesn't take 'works for me' to invalidate the point: it
requires 'works for *everyone*' - and while you haven't experienced
the faults yourself that in no way invalidates the experience of folk
that have experienced it.
