As with any other software development project, you have to draw a line
somewhere and say "these things will be in the release and these things will
not be in the release"; otherwise, you will never have a release at all.

I am not familiar with the code in this case but if its inclusion changed
enough other things in the system where _everything_ had to be re-tested
then it's not worth the regression.

These are just the simple facts of (any) software development.
