JD sees the situation correctly: this is $dayjob work, and it's going
to get done now not in four months because I have a deadline to meet.
I would like to push it into the community sources to reduce divergence
between our copy and Salesforce's, but if I'm told it has to wait till
9.6, I may or may not remember to try to do something then.

I will admit that I'm been slacking on commitfest work.  This is not
unrelated to the fact that we've been in commitfest mode continuously
since last August.  I'm afraid whatever enthusiasm I had for reviewing
other peoples' patches burned out some time ago.
