If the original patch was already in -next, I wouldn't worry about it,
as long as you do enough local testing that there's nothing stupid
going on.

The -next cycle is a few days, and even with an rc8 we're getting
close enough to release that I'd rather get it earlier than later.  So
I'd rather get a pull request this weekend than then have to deal with
it when traveling next week.
