Eli, As Jitendra indicated in the jira, this was originally supposed to be part of 0.205. Due to time crunc, we could not get this done in 0.205. This can be turned off by a flag and only can be enabled by users who want to use the functionality. Given that, I feel it is okay to go into 0.205.1.
I agree it would be good to have a trunk patch for this and make it part of 0.23.
