I'm working on another version, but I'm not sure if I'll prepare patches
prior to freeze. How critical is the active commit? I mean, can it wait
a while (with possibility of slipping upcoming release)?

although the API has been pushed already. I'm still playing it by ear
for a couple more days, even if it means some of my patches go in
(possibly with tweaks) after we freeze.
