Yingqi,

a patch of this scale is generally added to the branch early, once three 
committers have had a chance to review it.  By living on the 2.4 branch for 
some time (long before 2.4.13 is considered for release) we have the best 
chance of catching a problem between now and the release of 2.4.13.  

It would be just as unlikely to be added just before 2.4.13 is tagged because 
that doesn't give enough of the community time to review it.

Yours,

Bill
