So what's the plan?  Options seem to be:
1. Put this on the blocker list, so it definitely gets done before release
2. Accept the patch that started this thread (or a version of it), and 
put "do it right" on the "nice-to-have" list.  I can do it if I get a 
chance.
3. Someone can volunteer who can prioritize it.
