GSoC slots are not given out, so noone can say if Jaydeep will or will not get 
his approved.

Even if it is approved he may fail (not something we want but it may happen)

And if he doesn't fail it may take around a year for the new code to be merged 
in and released.

So delaying the fix is of course defenitely your decision, but wouldn't say 
that "there is no need" for it.

Cheers,
  Albert
