I agree that it’s slightly sketchy, but I think the upsides as noticeable (easier to cherry-pick from master to 7.1.x branch). Also, I believe this PR is a cherry-pick + fixes from master to the 7.1.x branch? If so, please make sure the cherry pick(s) are done with “cherry-pick -x”. I was contemplating if this would be better for a 7.2.x release, but alas, that forces us into supporting both 7.1.x and 7.2.x for a while. But, if you guys have other feature changes queued up for 7.x, that need to go into a 7.2.x release, then that would be the better choice here. Cheers, — Leif
