Sure, why not...  Either, someone will submit a clean, safe patch and 
it will be reviewed and OKed and it will be checked in, or that's won't 
happen.  I've added a pool to the wiki pages where you can register 
your vote.  If no patch is submitted, there is little point in 
considering/contemplating/arguing what would happen.  If such a patch 
were submitted, it would have to go into mainline first anyway, if it 
proves safe there and people want to propose a version of it for 4.0.x, 
then I think the RM would have to reevaluate it on its merits and risks 
and the timing.  I don't see the need for the RM to declare at this 
point what a future decision would be.  I suspect that if done well, 
the RM would entertain allowing it in 4.0.[n+1]; but that is just 
speculation.

[ assuming that list is still closed, since, you didn't say they opened 
it ]  Will you please stop doing that...  It drives us nuts, absolutely 
nuts.  If it is now an open list, never mind...
