In this case a pretty good argument could be made that it's a bug fix 
and not a feature, so can go in 2009.05.  Obviously bugs that break 
builds get more attention than ones that have been in code for a while 
and nobody noticed.  I'll ask Wolfgang to pick it up directly.  As 
you're noticing, how and when patches are picked up is open to many 
interpretations.

Ben
