and I repeat what i told you on IRC : these changes are in the most 
important part of the EFL : the main loop. Also, doing such critical 
change, even if it is optional, **just before** a release (if I'm not 
mistaken the release is for september) is just masochism (as people will 
use it if it is in a release, even if it is optional)

so again, I'm against that commit. Add it later if you want (you're the 
maintianer, so you do what you want), but now, for such critical change, 
it's not good at all.
