Also curious as to the expediency of implementation given that it is nearing
holiday break, finals weeks etc. TIA

Seriously - it's probably a *good* time to be pushing patches. At least here,
we have a policy of trying to schedule major code churn for times when class
isn't in session - 3 weeks ago would have been worse.  After next week, finals
are over, and any users left in town will probably be easy to deal with as they
will be full of holiday cheer and eggnog.

Unfortunately, most of the IT staff who will be pushing these fixes to their
departmental users will *also* be full of holiday cheer and eggnog, so
it's probably a wash. ;)
