Hi

the patch doesn't look too intrusive, but as a release date is close, I 
think what could make the difference to include it now or later is 
whether this patch can be extensively tested by several people (with 
"real life" situations) before 2.6 is released ?

If so, then it might be possible to include it, but if not I'd rather 
postpone it for later (whether it's 2.6.1 or 2.7).

Personnaly I'd rather include it fully tested in 2.6.1 (if such release 
should exist) than adding it now to 2.6 and realize later that not 
everything is working (because doing a 2.6.1 release just for this would 
be time consuming).

So, who's volunteering to test this a lot ?
