I I was wondering if you were going to update that soon, since it's been a while. I checked the blame and saw a change for 6.0-rc1, and 6.10-rc1 but not for 7.0-rc1. Not sure if you forgot or if that was intentional. Maybe something to think about before tagging 7.3-rc1. Or 7.10-rc1. Or whatever works with your counting system (fingers and toes, if applicable). I know there are bigger fish to fry, but for some people, this is needlessly important (trust me). -Josh
