It will become important but I wasn't treating it as urgent.

If we ship Glycin 2 then we don't strictly need it till 49.0 which is
scheduled for one month from now on 13 September. But we also have the
option of patching it out and staying on v1 if absolutely necessary.

This might seem urgent because it's feature freeze week, and it would be
great if we get it in before feature freeze. But at the same time we can
expect breakages like this from upstream well after Ubuntu feature
freeze up to and including 49.0/49.1.
