I think this would be fine. We don't want to be permanently stuck on an old gnulib, but on the other hand there's plenty of time in the next cycle to fix this. Meanwhile your proposal would unbreak things for people. One thing that would be good would be to file a bug documenting what's needed, with links and such. In the past tasks like this have gotten "lost" -- information being theoretically available in the archives somewhere, but in practice very hard to find. Tom
