I don't think there's a hard prohibition of catalog changes. But we should be
careful doing them because it makes testing more painful etc.

What "problem"? This just seems like a feature in a problem's clothing? The
commit message says:

which doesn't at all strike me as a justification for committing it post
feature freeze, i.e. it sounds like a feature.

If you want to argue that it's a rough corner in v15 work, that it's worth
committing now, do that explicitly.
