OK, I've had a chance to review the patches, and I am definitely hesitating. I agree that they can only affect PowerPC. If you feel very confident about the patches and want to take responsibility, I will go with your call. Advice from the other GMs would also be useful. My preference goes towards getting this code in the master branch first, release 7.7 without it, and then re-evaluate. If proven after an observation period to be stable in master, we can elect to backport the code to 7.7 in time for 7.7.1. But if people prefer, we can also accelerate the schedule for 7.8. -- Joel
