OK :-) I'd say it's too late for BBv1 as making changes to it would 
likely cause changes to regression testing and we don't want to do that 
(i.e. Doug will scold us if we do).

For BBv2 it's not going to affect testing so it would be possible to 
apply fixes to it. But given that we are talking about a few days now it 
might not be worth it to try and make changes before 1.33. But it is 
probably worth it to make changes before the next BBv2 milestone which 
Volodya mentioned would be shortly after 1.33.

So go for it in BBv2.
