I didn't jump into this one because it really is Grant's call, but my 
understanding is this is new 5xxx functionality which would imply it 
goes into the next window.  *Good* functionality, but new.

The refactoring should be an effort across 5xxx and 8[356]xx (and 
possibly 4xx, 82xx, 8xx) platforms and I would love to see it adopted in 
the next window.
