Zero objections to picking this for stable, although I'm curious what flagged this commit as stable material.
Especially since it's closer to a feature than a bug-fix.
Can you share some light? Perhaps a link to a thread/document since I would imagine you've been asked before.
Sasha has a presentation all about how this gets picked up, but I can't find the link right now. Sasha?
