I did already talk and apologise to Martin about this, and there is a
thread about this on the TSC list. This kind of delay is unacceptable,
there were some reasons for it related to wanting to ideally do this
better in bitbake. No such work has been forthcoming, nor is it likely
to any time soon so I've taken this patch.

Sorry about the delay. Hopefully this is an exception rather than the
way things tend to work.

I also do realise patches have been slow over the past week or two.
Feature freeze caused a stampede of build breaking patches and its taken
us a while to weed out the problematic ones and fix various bits of
breakage :(. Hopefully we're back to "normal" now (keeping in mind this
is now bug fixing for release in April). There are some upgrades that
won't make it in, there was just too much too late to get everything in
and maintain quality.

Cheers,

Richard
