It broke some tests, see my recent post [1]. This change won't be merged to 
master until these problems are resolved.

Strictly speaking, the master branch of the superproject should be long frozen 
by now, so this change missed the official window for 1.56. However I can see 
that it is still automatically updated, so the release is probably delayed 
again. Not sure if this means the window is extended.

The ticket is not required to put a line to release notes. If one already 
exists I can reference it, of course.
