I have the same concern. Actually, I'll be much more at ease if it saw a
bit of wider testing without hitting mainline just yet. I'll try to give
it some more testing with the machines and toolchains I can get my hands
on next week.

Yeah, let's give it another round of testing and queue it for .35 -
AFAIR Ingo runs also a wide testing effort so it spending another cycle
in -tip and being hammered on by us could give us a bit more certainty.
