That seems fine.

Once the I-build is promoted to the download site, we can annotate it
as 'Bug 517935' so it's clear it should stay around. I would even build
the change as an S-build instead, if that makes it clearer that we
intend to retain this for much longer.

Would you know if the platform intends to move to Lucene 7 for any of
the Oxygen point releases, or Photon ?
