I definitely agree -- looking at the diffstat and the scope
of the patch, this is definitely not suitable for committing
to master after hardfreeze.

Yes, sometimes code doesn't get in for the release you were
hoping for through no fault of the developers involved, and
that sucks. But the release model we have is "every three
to four months, time based", which means that (a) we need to
avoid delays to releases, which means being fairly strict
about what we permit into the tree during freeze, but also
(b) even if you do miss a release, the next one will be
along fairly shortly.
