Hmmm, I'm not sure myself.

The impact on deployed systems (beyond the extra code) is that the RRD 
filenames for metrics with a "%" in their metric name will change: for 
example, instead of storing metric data for "foo%" as "foo%.rrd", it will be 
stored as "foo%25.rrd".

I suspect very few people will have metrics with a "%" in the name; this 
change is probably not much of a problem in practice.  The patch *probably* 
could be deployed for 3.0.5, but the safer option would be to delay the patch 
for the 3.1.x branch.

HTH,

Paul.
