I also updated docs to say that asymmetric matrixes are not supported for this release, in anticipation of that decision -- which Chris Marshal also just recommend.
One can argue that this is a minor improvement over 2.4.2, because at least we know that we can't handle non-symmetric matrices. I think that 2.4.2 didn't know it couldn't handle them, and produced wrong results? Not sure.
To answer your question, I am fine with leaving it as is, for 2.4.3 release (or whatever you'd like to call it). Personally, I only need eigens for symmetric matrices. Since Chris Marshal has brought up the topic several times, I am guessing he'd like to see asymmetric matrices solved, which would be nice. I am further guessing that you haven't seen a lot of requests for eigens of asymmetric matrices. I also think the gsl will be a major change, and there are sufficient changes for a 2.4.3 release. gsl can wait, imho.

Okay, I've marked 1497870, 1497875, and 1221742 as fixed.
I just fixed the constructor bug as well.
That leaves:
1465414 (lib64 version and lib paths)
1465864 (flexraw fails on Intel OS X with gfortran)
1505171 (failure in MatrixOps::eigens in CVS)
Bill -- for the point release do you want to do a full eigens fix, or
just patch it back to the symmetrizing code?
Cheers,
Craig
