No, it's not going to be true for 3.3 -- which is why I approved Mike's patch there. :-)

Suppose we take a more radical approach, and just back out your patch entirely from the 3.3 release branch. What would be the consequences?


At a general level I understand what this means is that a certain class of template-related bugs won't get fixed in 3.3 and the fix will have to wait until 3.4. How important are those bugs, considering (a) all the other template-related bugs that can't be fixed without the new parser; and (b) the performance regression that this bug fix caused?
