I think the main question now is: How much time do you need for incorporating
your changes? When you can finish it the next two or three days, it should be
no real problem as long at it doesn't change the API or introduces new
problems, IMHO. When it takes longer and these are really necessary changes
which _have_ to be in 0.9.3, we can also move the release date by one week, of
course. I cannot decide on this myself, so Bodo, please estimate your required
incorporation time and then let the other OpenSSL developers give their votes.
As I said, when it can be incorporated the next two or three days, I'm +1 and
say "go for it". When it takes longer I'm either -1 for 0.9.3 or +1 for moving
the deadline by one week.
