This was not added to the list of targets, but that does not mean it
cannot get in if the effort is made.

Rather we boiled down a list of things we thing should absolutely get
into the release, and agreed we should focus on those - if other things
can land before feature freeze then there is no reason to reject them
(unless perhaps they are wildly unstable and dangerous changes for the
end of the cycle, which doesnt appear to be the case for 744).

This issue is Javier rightfully pointing out that we should document
these breakages somewhere (it is not a complete list, probably we
should look at the few minor breakages we introduced in 1.2 as well for
this).
