Hi, 

Yes, it was a violation of the tagging freeze. 

BUT ;) honestly I don't see this as a big issue - we need more testing here, 
thats what Beta is for. Zack was confident that the change is an improvement. 
There is a testsuite, which can be improved. Zack fixed the hang that you 
found. 

I've decided (for myself) to include Zacks change and the followup fix into 4.4 
beta1.

I don't have a clear picture of the report that the change breaks kate. is 
this true? then I would like to remove it from the beta1.
