This has been discussed already. See https://externals.io/message/115554 <https://externals.io/message/115554> TLDR; This is not a feature. It is to correct a mistake which is exactly what the stabilisation phase is for. Some people still think this should be for 8.2. The discussion started 4(!) months before the release of 8.1. It is now more than 3(!) months before release of 8.1. Some people claim this is being “rushed”. I really don’t think that adding this patch 3 months before a release is “rushing it”. // Tobias
