Thank you. Please agree on what should be the needed action here. It would 
be a pity if this missed 3.0 because of this. Could it be merged before 
the freeze if no obvious problems are found with that it can be removed 
later if it causes any trouble (I think that's unlikely as it's only 
touches rarely used parts).
