This was removed from 4.0 because it was not considered an “emergency fix”. That’s not to say that it’s not worthwhile and we can’t or shouldn’t do it for 4.1, just that we’re going to remove all changes from the list that are not required so we can make sure to finish 4.0 in June.
This can still be read in June and voted in to 4.1 in the usual time frame after that (1st in September, 2nd in December). Am I misunderstanding that there’s something breaking by not having this in 4.0?
