Adding new code at this stage of the process is bad enough. Adding new
code which adds a library dependency we have not previously had at this
stage of the process is quite unacceptable IMNSHO, and I will protest
very loudly about it. Quite apart from anything else it will almost
certainly break many buildfarm members.

Are we in beta or not? To me, beta means nothing but bug fixes go in,
period. No ifs, no buts, no maybes, no exceptions. And that should
definitely go for contrib as well. We need a bit of self-discipline
around here.
