I would guess that we could post a separate patch any time soon,
especially since the changes are apparently isolated to only a few
places in the code. In the last release, we posted ~7 patches, each
independent of the others, and generated on our local source trees. Each
of the patches was, however, fairly simple, quite often only one or a
few lines of change, and were intended as bug fixes. Also, they were
easily tested. In any case, at a minimum the regression test should be
run (and passed!).
