Yeah, I feel like it’s a bad example to use to highlight 4.0 scope creep (which 
is less of a thing than some fear).

The work there is already done, and it’s extremely unintrusive. There is no 
reason whatsoever to block 4.0 on it, but no reason not to commit - now, in a 
beta, in the first RC, or even later in a minor.
