That doesn't really make much sense to me, at least not with current engine... As said, I've tested it and didn't find issues. Maybe I just test the wrong things… >> However, I think it's too dangerous to break it in last minute before >> release. > > We definitely need to fix the WTF with "no runtime use" for defined > constant and the segfault before the release.

Well, we still could fix it now, AFAIK, we will still have another RC now and when we fix it only for 5.6.1, there also will only be one RC in between. That's no gain in testing time etc..
