That's why ticket is not closed.

I think you not exactly appreciate amount of time/effort it require to push 
the change in core library to release branch. Regardless of number of 
maintainers, this is still has a significant probability of being disruptive 
and I decided not pursue it unlesss I have a lot of time time to address the 
issues and really good reason to back up the change. The best policy is to 
push changes in batches, but now Iam stuck, since I can't push latest changes 
till I document them.
