Spontaneously I have mixed feelings:
While the API/ABI freeze is with 3.13.90 on August 18th, this feels like
stuff to preferably do at the beginning of a schedule so distributions
can realize and allocate resources to package "qqwing".
But in theory we could warn distributions via distributor-list@.

Could you please elaborate a bit what your judgement that it's faster
and more reliable is based on? (Even if a small library, I wonder how
well that code is tested if it's not packaged by major distros.)

Thanks,
andre
