Or could it be more complicated? For example, changing a piece of documentation will probably not break any dependents and, if it did, it would probably be easy to fix. On the other hand, updating the Python interpreter is usually a huge amount of work because many Python packages break and require upstream fixes. Are you able to "guesstimate" the impact of this patch in those terms? I know very little about Rust so I'm not able to.
