A new output format is fully pluggable, needs no changes in core modules,
it's a mere extra.
Your change refactors existing classes instead.

The proposal we voted already contained the notion of backporting new
functionality affecting core as early as possible
in the monthly release cycle.
Bug fixing is another story and by GSIP 77 does not require any voting.

its timing.
