Given the (prospective) timing for the release, it seems quite late. At
first glance, I think I'd prefer: getting that added after the release,
tested thoroughly, and maybe added through p-u for the next point
release. That would look safer to me, even if that means a 1+ month
delay (I think that's the usual for the 1st point release), counting
from the release date.

What do you think?
