Thanks for doing this, tell us if you need any help for anything.

I took over this one.  As you said, since it's not a regression, it's 
not critical.  But as there are still other issues to be solved before 
the release, I'll continue to aim to have it in 7.12.  If it happened to 
be the last remaining open issue, it should certainly not block the 
release.
