So do I.  Based on the feedback so far, I won't be pushing this patch,
since clearly there is no consensus for doing so.  I'll go ahead and
solicit additional input on the issue from -users@.

pws: I don't think this change should block 5.3.  If the release train
is ready before this change is, let the train leave the station and this
patch can wait for 5.4.

Thanks for the discussion,

Daniel
