I would like to delay any changes to the branch, not because they are
zero risk, but because mistakes can get made and those mistakes impact
those volunteers testing trunk for the 2.16 release.
If you put it on a branch, create a BZ, and mark it target milestone
2.17, then I'll do the test and checkin myself once we are out of the
freeze.
I'd really like to avoid touching the branch except for regression
fixes that effect stability.
Cheers,
Carlos.
