Well, it's possible, but this is currently the only thing
that would need an rc4, so the question is how important
is the regression and how safe is the fix? If it's just
a minor corner case then it's tempting to not have an rc4
unless we need it for some other reason.

Summary: it can go into 4.2 but you need to provide some
rationale in the pullreq cover letter to make the case for it :-)
