You're talking about patch 1 from this set? Despite the title I view
the patch as changing policy (albeit one that does also fix some annoying
quantization errors at the same time) so it's not necessarily a
candidate for merging outside the merge window (I've not checked with
Lee but I think it likely the shutter is already down for features).

Moreover I'm not clear why there a dependency here that would stop the
changes landing in different trees.
