I would think that they could just use the version that they're using now until they've had time to make the change (which I wouldn't think would take all that long, though it wouldn't surprise me if it took them a few hours rather than half an hour if their code base is large). I can only see that being an issue if they absolutely must have some other fix that's been checked in since that change. Regardless, I think that this needs to be fixed before the actual release. - Jonathan M Davis
