At the time, it wasn't clear to me how significant these changes were. I'm happy to be corrected, but this is why I like to get heads-up messages (or text or direct commits) from developers regarding changes they consider to be important. If you want, I can figure out something to add to -CURRENT's release notes. Is this important enough to also warrant an entry in the 4.7 errata?
