I don't have time to comment on the specific issue.

In general, I think that new features in bug-fix releases are a bad idea.
Of course, the line between bug-fix and feature is not always crisp.
Something that is really a new feature should wait for a feature release.

Note that the next feature release should happen in a couple of months.
