That was reported after I made this announcement.

Judging from the conversation in that thread we already have an idea
what was broken.  Is the fix going to be complex? 

I think we can make the decision whether to wait for it based on it's
complexity.

If we're sure it's not going to be too invasive, it doesn't matter if
it's committed before or after branching because the cost of applying
that to two trees would be minimum. Another thing I consider is that we
want OSSTest to have a push over the weekend. With both considerations
in mind, it would be OK if a simple patch gets committed today.
