Tell you what: _that_ would be a good reason to make another release
candidate, and if it does not get through, branch off a 2.16 prerelease
branch to cherry-pick into _before_ merging the skyline stuff.

And if, against all pessimistic expectations, the skyline stuff turns
out not giving us any relevant regressions in the next months, why, we
can have a short release cycle for 2.18 for a change.

But this is the sort of thing I definitely want to see in the
development versions, and that I definitely don't want to see in 2.16
release candidates at the current point of time.
