My patch for this, while a bit large, is simple enough it can be merged
after the freeze. E.g., if rmap is merged this is just "more rmap work"
and sane.

I would bump this down to "After feature freeze..." although I see no
reason it cannot go in sooner (I just do not consider it a pre-freeze
item in terms of its impact).

Easily 90% of this stuff should _not_ go in after the freeze. It either
needs to make it in now or hold its breath until 2.7.

I would much prefer a rush of merges now and less "improper" merges
after the freeze. In fact, I do not care much what we do now as long as
we treat the freeze as a freeze and work solely to stabilize stuff.
