Perhaps not. This is a legit bug with an unfinished patch (see index
relation truncation) that is going to need a careful review. I don't
think that this should be impacted by the 4/8 feature freeze, so we
could still work on that after the embargo and we've had this bug for
months actually. FWIW, I am still planning to work on it once the CF
is done, in order to keep my manpower focused on actual patch reviews
as much as possible...
