From someone begrudgingly in the "peanut gallery", I agree. It's a simple enough fix with a low enough risk of adversely affecting the build that it could make it into the upcoming release. But as a far too former release manager I also appreciate Bruce's stance too. These splinters I've got from sitting on the fence are going to hurt soon, I'm sure!

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.
