FWIW I think there's minimal risk in queueing this up as a late addition 
for 6.1, lest it get forgotten again. I've not been following it since 
I've been busy with other things and I largely trust that DART patches 
are well-tested, but from a quick skim it all earns a solid "yeah, why 
not" from me :)
