The patches were supposed to be in 3.0.2, but got skipped for several reasons, all of them procedural. I'm also not sure what "late date" means here -- 3998 has been in the 3.0.3 queue for as long as there's been a 3.0.3 queue. It's not as if it's a last minute set of code or something that just got put in the queue last night. There were no current vetos in the tickets as of this morning for either patch, FWIW. Frankly, the whole 3.0.3 release is strange imo. We all were saying, for several months now, that there was not going to be a 3.0.3 release and were focusing on 3.1 w/ an upgrade being the official "bug fix/etc" path. That's why most things in the 3.0.3 queue have just sat there and haven't been commented on. Now suddenly (for a week or two anyway) there's a strong desire to get 3.0.3 out? Alright, enough venting. As for the 3998 commit, I miscounted the vote that did occur, so that's reverted now. Sorry. Also in general, discussions/votes ought to go in the ticket, otherwise it's too hard to track where the conversations are taking place. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "I don't even have to get dressed up for Halloween.
