Stefan's decision, but considering that the very last release candidate
is planned for today, I doubt that he's willing to take it. At least I
wouldn't. Feature freeze was long ago, and even for real bug fixes I
would be careful at this point and take nothing that isn't critical.

And even if he did take it, I wouldn't be surprised if Anthony simply
refused to pull.
