We're two weeks before release and meant to be bug fixing now, new
features add risk.

You say this patch is low risk but it will actually break builds. Why?
It has machine specific code but isn't marked as machine specific and it
will not work well in world builds for example. That is just the part I
can spot from looking at it but it means its not been widely tested.

Yes, we can fix these things but I really want to focus on the bugs we
have right now, not fixing new code and adding new build failures.

So Saul is right here in deferring this.

Cheers,

Richard
