That raises a good question as to feature-freeze status. Now that 3.2.0b5 is out, are we still in a feature freeze, or are new features still allowed? If the freeze is still on, then we need to vote in any new features. This particular one is a pretty simple addition which doesn't break anything as far as I can see. The description above could be the basis of the defaults.cc entry, which the patch doesn't have yet. I vote +1 as well. -- Gilles R.
