Huh?  I don't understand that argument.  On the other hand, the patch is
missing a Changes entry and any integration into the user documentation,
so it is mostly inaccessible to users anyway (and the means to
discuss/review its interface design are limited) and there seems little
point to include it in this state.  If we don't have documentation for
the next unstable release, the chances for translations etc to arrive
timely are slim.
