In the roundtable there was a specific question about backporting some
functionality.  I don't recall the functionality that was being
discussed, but I clearly remember Matz indicating that he would be
willing to backport functionality if it had no impact on the current
code. The specific item being discussed wouldn't have, and he said he
would be open to looking at it.
