 Sure, no rush.  Agree it's not something that's ready to go in for a
release you're already finalizing.

  I only just subscribed to the mailing list to post my patches.
Thanks for the heads up on release-schedule issues, so I can stop
worrying that you missed it or something.  :)

  If anyone has any thoughts about the design, esp. from the point of
view of a different use-case for --dig-holes (like maybe for VM
images?), that would be useful.  I could maybe revise my patch and
have something closer to ready for inclusion into 2.27.
