     If the change is made, I'd prefer it on core-updates. Merging master
     into core-updates and vice versa already requires somebody to resolve a
     lot of merge conflicts. I'd rather not add to that burden.

I don't follow the reasoning.  Makeing such a change on core-updates instead of
master would only make the merge effort worse.
