The proposal doesn't appear to include making this release blocking
functionality, so we'd feel no particular obligation to test it
extensively. So I don't see any real QA impact at least in the short
term. We could by all means throw an optional test in the matrix for
people to run if they want to, writing one would be, oh, ten minutes of
hard labour.
