With all due respect to the fine work you're doing, I would strongly oppose bringing this into -Stable at this time. Given that 2.2.8 is (should be) the last release on the 2.2 branch, adding such a feature at this time only adds potential for disaster. My vote would be that you continue to have patches available for those who wish to play with this in -Stable, but that it not become part of the tree.
