I haven't had a detailed look at that yet.  But it doesn't look like a
bug fix or a change to an isolated part of the system (e.g. the
bytecode, Aditi, or MLDS back-ends), so I think it would probably be
best to enforce the feature freeze and thus wait until after the 0.9
release before committing that change on the main branch.

If that is an impediment to development, feel free to create a branch
and commit it on the branch.

That one looks to me like a mistake made during cvs merge.
You should not make that change.

I think that might be another cvs merging error.
