Normally, we should only accept bug fixes that are absolutely safe or
otherwise critical I would say. Self-contained features that do not
endanger the rest of the code might be acceptable for the branch, but
we usually freeze new features on branches.
Regarding the "find" patch, I need to look at it again. I'm pretty
reluctant to introduce a new feature on a branch on principle, but
if you convince the other maintainers, I won't object.
