Thanks.

I am inclined to say that we should queue this on a fork from
'maint, merge the result to 'master' before 1.9-rc1 and ship the
result as part of the upcoming release, and then possibly merging
the topic to 1.8.5.x maintenance release after that.

This is primarily because I personally do not have p4 expertise to
test or properly judge this (iow, you are the area maintainer, the
authority), and I somehow have this feeling that parking in 'next'
for extended period of time would not give meaningfully larger
exposure to the code.

What do you think?

If you feel uneasy about such a fast-track, I wouldn't push it,
though.
