If I'm right, then changes on the branch will not get tested too much. That said, I have no objections committing sooner. Just let me run with it for a while, since until now this change was tested on a single machine which runs Windows 7. It wasn't tested on XP and other users of Windows 7 didn't suffer from the original problem at all. I'd like to have a bit more confidence before installing.
