A layout change in a maintenance release sounds very risky. I saw some discussion on the JIRA about those risks, but the consensus seemed to be "we'll leave it up to the 2.6 and 2.7 release managers." I thought we did RMs per release rather than per branch? No one claiming to be a release manager ever spoke up AFAICT.
Should this change be included? Should it go into a special 2.8 release as mentioned in the ticket?
