Even if we did postpone the feature-freeze, I'd probably still not apply
the isearch patch until after that.
Call me a buzzkill, but I actually like to know that “sensitive”
features are going to get a good amount of testing before being called
“stable”. 😄

That's twice as valid when the code involves some decisions that we're
