At this stage (hard-code freeze), the release-team frightens easily, so
we'd need a good reason to approve a large patch, even in gdm.

At the moment, nothing in that bug means much to me - it's a bit too
technical. If you can persuade us that it's a very noticable regression or
awful user experience then maybe we could get frightened and beg for a
patch.

Thanks for keeping a critical eye on things.
