I would assume that would be a big help, especially given that Bruce is
busy with the patch queue right now.

There is another point to putting it out fairly soon - we're entering
feature freeze, and most devs would likely want to focus on 8.3 at that
time. Probably a good thing to get 8.2.4 out before that (which really
means we should've started a couple of weeks back, but hey, we can't
have everything)
