        Hi,
I guess you mean how to deal with it in this stage, before the release.
The code is not frozen yet, thus new API can be added, especially when
it doesn't influence any existing API internally. I hesitate to change
existing API in this stage, better to left such changes after the
release. If you feel the patch is simple and won't break anything (I
recall I had such feeling about the enum size in 0.9.5, which turned
out into a disaster later, thus it was also my fault), then just commit
as much for the release as possible. It's hard (and time consuming) to
test every single change, but at least the existing tests should not
fail. That's how I do it these days at least.

        Thanks and bye,
