I had spoken with Sanjay offline about this patch a week or so before
205 was frozen. At that point we had left the discussion that we would
try to get it in for 205 with the understanding that a trunk patch
would be posted within a day or two of the 205 patch. Given that it's
now been a month or two since then and we still haven't seen any trunk
work here, I don't understand why we're now rushing and breaking our
own release policies.

Yes, let's make it part of 23 and *then* backport the optimization if need be.
