What is this required for? When is the next genimage version expected? Well, it's just a new feature that someone needs. We normally don't take feature patches, but this one is a backport from upstream. genimage also does new releases fairly infrequently, so waiting for the next release is not necessarily nice. The patch was short enough, taken directly from upstream, so I said "ok, let's take, it will anyway go away the next time we bump". Dario, could you fill in an issue to the genimage issue tracker to ask for a new release? I did that last time, and it worked, within a day or two they published a new release.
