 release 4.6.alpha3 in a day or so, so please let me know as soon as

 Personally, I think it would be best to fix it first. Otherwise it strikes
 me of this comment

 '''I am very concerned at this "release it now, we'll make it work later"
 mentality.'''

 If it is on the strict understanding it does not get into a release until
 fixed, then I'm OK with it. That is the purpose of alphas. But I thought
 the intension was to have a feature freeze after this alpha. Merging this
 could be dangerous thing to do.

 The ticket has been open two years - I would have thought those working on
 it would have had time to checked it!
