You're willing to say there are exactly *zero* fixes that would be needed to be done in trunk and merged into 1.18 as a result of making this change?
I guess the worst that could happen is that one of the bundled extension breaks core in some way, in which case it's slightly worse because we bundle the extension. Other than that, core is unaffected.
I'm not going to dig my heels in on this one. However, I'd really like to encourage everyone to avoid piling non-critical into a release branch after it gets branched, and have the patience to wait for the following release. That's the only way we're ever going to speed up the release train.
I'm not particularly attached to it, and I think we can wait till 1.19 if we want to. I just didn't think your arguments made much sense.
Even if it's 2-3 hours of work, I still would prefer that a volunteer gets involved in this area. Tim in particular has an overabundance of 2-3 hour tasks.
Yeah, that's true. A brief assessment by Tim as to whether this is as easy as I think it is (for someone who speaks Python) would be nice though.
