I know it is late. Sorry about that.

I think the most important stress-test will be to have it tested
by people in real conditions, so I think we should have it in the
2.23.14 release. Worst case, we can revert it if it causes problems.

There seems to have been no strong objections so far, so unless
somebody speaks up, I will merge the MR tomorrow morning so it can
be included in the release (which is going to happen tomorrow, right?).
