If my voice counts, I'm against including any substantial changes (and
this patch I think *is* substantial change) in RCs. Especially that I have
already seen this patch changes the API (breaking binary compatibility
inside RC cycle) and there can be more things hiding into it.
Knowing risks of entering this patch are not even theoretical, but very
practical - I think it would be best to enter in on more safe ground and
not in late RC. If one thinks think this patch *must* be in 4.3.2, this
should mean 4.3.2 is held until we (for whatever reasonable definition of 'we')
are sure this patch would not break anything.
Also, the "here's the patch, it will be included in the next version"
approach sounds very sane to me - actually, the best solution to this.
