I really like to push the staging changes to master despite being in the GNOME freeze. There was also no vala release yet which other projects could rely on. Official GNOME applications which are using Vala will be fixed as fast a possible. Currently known are gitg and geary which needs minor patching.
There has already been an unstable release, one month ago. I suspect if you merge your changes now, the fallout will be manageable throughout GNOME. Non-GNOME programs certainly will not care one way or the other whether they are broken by vala 0.26 or by vala 0.28. And the changes are certainly bugfixes, not features or UI changes that would be affected by the current freeze. But it's still annoying to break programs this late in the cycle. In the future, it would be appreciated if you make unstable releases according to the GNOME schedule, and merge the last major changes prior to 0.x.90. Almost all of the GNOME Games, at least, depend on unreleased vala throughout the unstable cycle. This only works for distros because they don't usually patch our vala code, so they don't compile our vala code. Michael
