To be clear, I merged it into master so it will be in Spark 1.0.0. I just
didn't back port it into the 0.9 branch so it won't be in Spark 0.9.1. Usually
we backport things that are fairly high priority fixes, since any time there is
some risk that a "fix" actually regresses behavior in some way. This one is a
good fix but I'm not sure it's urgent enough - but we'll see if people running
0.9.X request this fix and if so we can backport it.
