So, maybe it should be postponed to the next version? When would that
be?

1.6.0: Branched: Jan 18 2008, Released: Oct 01 21:22:08 2008
1.6.1: Branched: Aug 13 2008, Released: Aug 18 20:42:51 2009
1.6.2: Branched: Mar 16 2009, Released: Dec 17 20:31:38 2009

So does this mean an extra delay of 6-9 monthes in case it goes into
1.10 instead (Assuming somebody actually properly picks it up by then)?
