Well, let me reply that again you are /not/ the first to comment on the way the 
current VCS is blocking rather than helping us co-operate. 

If your change was really 3 lines, (same as mine, actually), it would be 
straightforward to "drop" it in the code. But again, all API changes may have 
drawbacks or questions (even silly ones, like the name of the function you 
use). So, you eventually cannot just apply a patch on trunk, before some cycle 
of develoment+testing.

But your change (neither mine) are *not* 3 lines: in order for a new API to 
work, you have to make the client(s) etc. to use it. And then, which API 
should they prefer [1]?

Let me tell you that I do agree with you on the importance of the patch. 
However, I don't agree on the timing. If it's a feature, just let it wait for 
v6.1 . On the other hand, we are a free and open project, nobody will forbid 
you from applying the patch on your branches, test it and show the community 
that you have something to feel proud of.


Btw. where is that code? may I merge it into my (experimental) branch?


[1] remember my patch about the "server options"?
