It would guarantee that there is *no* period to discuss if it is too inconvenient for developers between the time these 6 plus 1 graduate to the master branch (and willing volunteers have chance to try it themselves) and the change actuallly is forced upon the developers. That is why I said I'd prefer to wait. A separate patch that depends on the 6 plus 1 topic that is kept in 'next' longer than the main series is a possibility, though.
