I am wondering if this change should go in master (for 2014.08) or in
the next branch (for 2014.11). That close to the release, doing a
change in the core infrastructure seems a bit invasive to me. What if
it breaks the build of other packages? Seems unlikely, I admit, but
still. What do others think?

Thanks!

Thomas
