It's too late to add new libraries, they'll have to wait for the next
release. Also, please contact the release managers first, there are
few things we need to check and do for new libraries.

How disruptive will it be and what's actually broken? I understand
that you want to clean things up but is there anything which really
can't wait three months? The reason why we have frequent releases is
so that there doesn't need to be a last minute rush to get features
added.
