severity 779207 wishlist thanks This is still a feature request. Granted, a feature request that many people request, but still a feature request.
The proposed patch, even if it's "well tested", may or may not be compatible with whatever thing upstream finally implements. If we only had some assurance that the upstream patch will be like this, then yes, it would be fine to apply the patch (I would be happy to backport the changes from upstream git or whatever source control version they have), but we don't really know, so no, I still do not feel like deviating from upstream, not under freeze, and not after the freeze. Anyway, I'll ask the authors about this once again. Thanks.
