Comment 22 for bug 194487

I sort of expected this to be the case - I'll read up on how to refactor those patches as you metion.

However, the important part is that it the patches are built and designed such that if you install the patched version over existing configs, nothing changes functionally - i.e. you have to actually want to use the new functionality for it to be activated. If not, then everything hums along the same way it did before the patch. This is intentionally so since I understand what LTS is all about - it's about configuration management and stability.

I'll try to get it factored for today, but you're right - it's unlikely that I'll be able to. Should I be able to, what's the most expedited way to get the ball rolling to attempt to fit this in prior to feature freeze?

Thanks for the info!
