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.
