I sense some impatience, pre-release, with some suggestions. If this weren't immediate pre-release phase, might there be more-receptive tone? Fwiw, I'd '+1' the suggestion - it's a simple, neat change, not entailing any real change of approach, and that gets things more-correct and 'just-so'; and it's often good practice to aim for these for os-builds.
