Fuzzy filling

Now I noticed this a while ago, but forgot about it until today. The problem 
is that I believe the behaviour of the bltSelection functions of KisPainter 
is wrong. If you use a very fuzzy brush, and paint a selection, I would 
expect when I fill it with a color or a pattern, that the fuzziness of the 
selection would be seen in the filling. This would be consistent with the 
apidocs specification of these functions:
  * A version of bitBlt that applies the destination selection mask
  * first to the source device and
  * only then blits. This means that the source device is permanently altered.
But in the source, there is absolutely no alteration of the source device, or 
any applying of the selection whatsoever.

Would it be wise to fix this now, or should I wait with this until after the 
freeze?
