I'm not part of the release engineering team, but I think they're hoping to merge this before the release, yes. If anyone has a Core Duo system running -CURRENT and can tell me what # sysctl machdep.hyperthreading_allowed # sysctl machdep.hlt_cpus says before and after this change, it would probably speed up the process of merging this into other branches.
