Given no regressions I approve this patch for 2.15 and 2.16.
Please make sure you add a 2.15.1 and 2.16.1 section if not already
present in NEWS and add the bug number to the list of bugs fixed.
Traditionally we create BZ entries for the backports, but I don't
think we need to waste time doing that. Just using the single BZ
is sufficient, but please update the BZ as you fix each of the
release branches.
Does that make sense?
Cheers,
Carlos.
