--- Comment #19 from Jeffrey A. Law <law at redhat dot com> 2011-12-02 05:26:00 UTC --- I did some runtime testing on this shortly after 4.7 stage1 opened; the net result was actually a regression. I didn't delve into why due to time constraints. Without analysis as to why the patch regressed spec, I wouldn't be comfortable suggesting it for any stage. jeff
