FWIW, it would be nice, but given that this is not a regression,
It would be hard justifying the release because of it. At least
not by very much.
What I propose is putting this item on the "Maybe" list, and try
to get the patch in by mid June. If, by then, the patch or the
desired behavior is still under discussion, then re-evaluate our
situation. In particular, if the patch is really close, then wait.
Otherwise, give the patch more time to mature, and cut the branch
without it. Does it sound reasonable?
