I do not think so, because it seems that the timeframe to put code into Lenny
is pretty finished, moreover we already used an exception to put important
improvements happened after the Lenny freeze in unstable (and so in future
released Lenny), so I think we already played that game, but Daniel could be
more precise regarding time frames or possibilities to add some more code in
Lenny.

Any help is welcome, but a new developer could need some training to fix this
issue in time.

The feature is enabled as a custom parameter exactly because is experimental,
but as you saw help in documentation is needed too.
