[Nicholas Skaggs <nicholas.skaggs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We missed you in the meeting. Please note I do not speak for the release 
team. However, at this point, any change is likely to need good reason 
and undergo a lot of scrutiny. They don't want to introduce any 
regressions, etc. With that said, this seems to me to be a matter of 
getting a update pushed to the archive. I don't see it as having to be 
on any particular deadline (other than asap). This should be pushed 
through as an SRU. Thoughts?
