Sorry but I think in the end this has missed the cut-off for 4.2.0 (we
are cutting the final RC tomorrow).

We should be branching soon after the final RC which means 4.3
development will open in unstable shortly. We should take this into
unstable then and consider it for 4.2.1.

In the meantime I suppose we should mention this in the release notes.
