I can't see a reason to /not/ fix something this simple for the 7.2
release. In general, I think it's best to fix things like this[1]
"on sight" as opposed to queueing them in TODO where they /might/ sit
untouched through another release cycle.

[1] meaning problems that require little effort to fix, and whose
solutions are /very/ localized.

cheers.
