4.x will likely live on both in development and production for quite a
long time, and will therefore likely see MFC's of much larger things than
libmap.conf support.  That said, if you're not willing to
backport/maintain it in 4.x, I agree that it will need to find an owner in
order to make it to 4.x :-).
