They're not prospective, they've been in unstable for quite some time.

This is a complete non-problem if you work with the patches from CVS, as
I do. The only incompatability (the one that you experienced), was
caused by using the IRC patch from the tarball, which depended on
dropped-table. dropped-table caused massive problems, and introduced
major incompatabilities.

There's a reason why I work from CVS; this is a complete non-bug.
