Re: What is holding up 2.20 release?

I would like to give whatever small contribution I can make to this 
without knowing so much on the technical levels; please do tell me 
whether I say below is considered helpful.

This seems like a new feature to me that shouldn’t be picked.

This seems pretty trivial and innocuous to me; also for a major release 
it is much desirable to uniformly adapt new syntax, I think.

IMO this is so much non-critical that it should only be picked if the 
change is very innocuous, which I can’t tell if it is.

Here I’d say this is not a new feature, but a bug fix, and the 
mechanisms used for the change are secure enough to pick it. Again, my 2cts.

Thanks for your efforts.

Best, Simon
