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. -- Joel
