We still have time till the end of week, if we ask pav@ to do exp-run
right now and there are few to none failures, you can try.

We'll need an exp-run for it anyway, so I guess it's OK.
If you have a patch ready, I suggest to file a PR and mail pav@ to do
exp-run for it. If there are no major failures, we can push it into the
tree, else we won't be bored during the freeze fixing it.
