While I agree that this patch is a good improvements for us to have,
it's not something we'd back-patch to released versions and while we can
play a little looser with v11 since it's in beta, I tend to agree with
Michael that this change isn't really appropriate to include in v11 now
that we're in beta.

The current situation isn't great, but it's what people are familiar
with and may already be expecting in v11.  Ideally, we want extension
authors and others testing v11 to find actual bugs and breaking things
for them post feature-freeze and beta release isn't going to encourage
them to play with beta versions in the future, meaning we'll end up with
folks waiting until the release to do testing and end up with a poorer
release for it.

Thanks!

Stephen
