-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- If ``some users'' refers to me, I apologize for being unclear. I was considering doing a merge, but I wanted to get clarification on your comment ``Not a 2.2 candidate''. And since you answered my question, I've decided that there's not much point in a merge ... a workaround for 2.x is available, and 3.0 is around the bend. All I really want to do is close a PR regarding this (bin/2859). The PR was opened on 2.1.5, so there's no chance of a merge to that system anyway. Further, after some review, I think it is debatable that this is filed as a `sw-bug' vs. `change-request'.
