Right, and it's sitting on a separate branch which is (as we've seen) very easy to add a tag to if it turns out to be needed. This is what all the small topic branches are there for, it makes it really easy to cross merge, and obviously applying the patch on a branch is always going to be the first step in creating an immutable branch. It certainly doesn't seem worth getting worried about. Really, if you're not happy for something to be applied you probably don't want to be acking it or you at least want to be really explicit about things.
